Today, my husband and I agreed that he would name our first born and I would name our second. He's dead-set on naming our child "Raindropp" no matter whether it's a boy or girl. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend has had name ideas for his future son and daughter even before I met him, but so have I. He disregards my ideas and suggestions, and is hell bent on giving our kids names because he likes "the way they sound." 'Hippopotamus' sounds good, but who’d name their kids that? FML
Today, my French wife chose the name of our unborn baby girl. She wants to call her Fanny and won't change her mind. FML
Today, my girlfriend of three days asked if we could start naming our future children. FML
Today, my husband and I were talking about names for our expectant child. I told him since I named our daughter he could name our son. He's decided on a name from 'God of War'. My son is going to be named after a make-believe cartoon character - Kratos. FML
Today, me and my husband are having our first big marital argument. Our baby still doesn’t have a name, all because I want to call her a normal name and he wants to call her some obscure name from an anime he really likes. I’ve never seen him this stubborn about anything this stupid. FML
Today, my father-in-law announced the name of his new son, my husband's half-brother. The first name and last name is the same as our son, who I gave birth to 4 months ago. FML
Today, I had to yet again tell my mother-in-law that I wasn't going to name my unborn baby "Ermintrude" after her late mother. My husband told me to stop being difficult, and that he agrees that it would be nice. FML
Today, I learned that I'm expecting twins. A boy and a girl. My husband, upon finding out about this, immediately suggested that we give them Star Wars names. But not Luke and Leia. Oh no. He wants to name them Darth and Vayda. And he is absolutely serious about this. FML
Today, I found out my wife named our son after her ex-lover. FML
Today, after my wife gave birth to another of our daughters, she announced that this was the last one. When I reminded her I still needed a son to carry on my name, she replied, "Well, you've got four girls. You want a boy? Birth him yourself!" FML

YDI. Names should be something that the mother and father decide jointly so this kind of situation can be avoided.

I named my pet frog this when I was 7. Just... no.

How about just shortening the name into "Rain" or spelling it "Rayne"? Compromise. :)

Agreed, and if it's a boy he can just go by Ray, or his middle name.. Which hopefully won't be "Dropp"

"Rayne" is lovely as well, but I'm partial to the spelling "Raine." Sorry, Tales of Symphonia fan. -_-

There's also the girl's name Rayna.

Strange names are all the rage these days. My parents named me Rusty. And I'm a woman.

Yeah probably the kid will fit in perfectly, there are a lot of 'interesting' names being out on birth certificates these days

This girl in my school named her kid Jager...

Is he Native American?

I was not meaning this comment to sound rude. My husband is Native American and his family has a few "different" names in it.

Native American names are actually pretty cool. There is a kid at the school I work for with the last name "Lovegood"... That kid is going to have an awesome time with pick-up lines his whole life. ;)

My best friend is Native American and her name is Ciara.(Like the mountains) so I get what you're saying.

271 - What the hell, how many names do you have? (Referring to her profile and previous comments.)

Not as bad as a girl named "Tula Does The Hula In Hawaii". Yes, she was actually named that.
jesspie 8
It was Tallulah (not Tula) and she ended up suing her parents. Poor kid.

I saw something on the news where a baby was named Abcadef.

What about the kid named Dovahkiin for the Bethesda challenge? Some names should stay in the game

I would feel bad for the kid if he ended up naming him that. :P

I think you need to drop the agreement and have a little talk about your child's future if you give them that name.
