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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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
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, I found out that my wife named our son after her ex boyfriend. FML
Today, I found out my wife named our son after her ex-lover. 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 heard my brother and sister-in-law discussing whether they should name my soon-to-be-born niece Annabelle or Samara. My nephews are named Jason, Freddy and Chucky. See the pattern? 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 found out that my 6-year-old son was named after my wife's "Favorite Uncle" because he might also be the father. FML
Today, I learned that the hardest part of marrying a historian is choosing baby names. His top choices derive from two Roman magistrates, two abbesses, a tenth-century author, and an obscure Greek official. I already let him name our pug, for whom he chose the name "Tertullianus." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

"Make-believe cartoon character"?! Whoa whoa whoa, you've gone too far, there. Besides, it's a totally cool name, you must admit.

560 - STFU and know what you are talking about before you open your trap. Kratos is the main character in the God of War series for PS3.

#560 its KRONOS and hes the titan of time not Kratos
SpearD 4
Kratos is the main character from God Of War, who exacts revenge on the god of war, furthermore making himself the god of war. But yes, Kronos is a mythical Titan.
SpearD 4
Oh, never mind, I thought you meant the character in the game. Although I thought there was a Cronus somewhere in Greek mythology.
Link5794 18
I think Cronus is an alternative spelling.
JokersHQ 21
I'm pretty sure 560 was referring to the actual deity of Greek mythology that the character of the PS3 game is based on

The K and C are switched sometimes I believe, to settle this Kronos/Cronus thing. I think cyclops can also be switched with kyklops. Weird, just something I read when doing school research on cyclopes

you're all wrong. kronos=greek cronus=roman. same dude, different names. just like zeus=greek and jupiter=roman. romans took the greeks ideas and gods and renamed them and changed them slightly.

agreeed; & just bc its "he turn to pick" it doesn't mean you need to name your kid some stupid name like that or just a name you dont like, grow a pear & speak upp!
shyeahh_fml 19
I believe the term is "grow a pair". Fruit probably wouldn't help in this situation.

650 that was funny, but back to #2. I think compromise is the best route for names. My dad wanted to name my little brother diesel and my mom wanted Asher. So they decide Asher as the first and diesel as the middle, but we still call him diesel lol.

Kratos is a real cartoon character, not a make-believe one. F your sons life!

agree with ya. kratia in Greek means rule or ruler so it's a pretty BA name if you ask me

It's most definitely a BA name, but I would have gone with Ezio since I'm an AC fan :3

No way! And Kratos was real, he is portrayed in God of War. Cause he's real.

kratos is actually a greek god who symbolizes strength. You can make it cratos to look a little better.

My last girlfriend's name was Athena, she loves her name.

I prefer Greek over Roman. It should be Ares if he wants the God of war.
DoomSkuller 28
Kratos and Ares are not the same Ares' Roman aspect is Mars Kratos in traditional Greek myth is the god of strength and power, son of the Titans Pallas and Styx He and his brothers Nike (victory), Bia (force) and Zelus (zeal) were enforcers for Zeus

Kratos is an awesome name. Why would you ever want that changed? I bet you would have picked a common and boring name like Joeseph. I wish i had an awesome name like Kratos
