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

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 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

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

It's a Greek word, meaning strength. On the bright side, it sounds intellectual!

it actually means power not strength

What's wrong with that? The latest trend is naming your babies weird names. Just stick the kid in a Hollywood school and he won't be made fun of when he's with Apple.

#1, I resent that. Never make that deal with SOME men. Others are perfectly capable of naming children. If it was my kid, I'd name him after a real person, like Leonidus. :P #10, I have a (fairly) uncommon name, and, after about 10 years of hating it, I came to enjoy the individuality that came with it. And the fact that I don't have to stand up with 4 other people like when someone says "John".

Kratos is a real name, it's a real person. Kratos is the god of war hence the video game tittle and that name symbolizes strength

My boyfriend's parents did the same thing...that's how he ended up Thor.

GoW is a lousy game, but Kratos is a pretty cool name. And also it was the name of a character in Greek Mythology long before it was a name for a character in a mediocre but popular action game, so- Y'know, it's unique, and people will still be able to pronounce it, so- I say it's a good one.

Well its not all bad. Like # 6 said you can spell it with a C at least it will look a little more normal. Besides, its not that weird of a name. I know people who are named katana.

Yeah, take an actually existing name and change a random letter, forming a non-existant name, to make it look more normal. makes perfect sense.

And yet it does look more normal. If I took the name Quetzalcoatl and removed the Ls, would that not look more normal? It makes sense: some existent names are strange, but if you change them they may look less strange.

Oh my god. It's fine letting your husband name your son (congrats, btw), but if the name is stupid, you should put your foot down. Remember, he will be stuck with the name forever. Unless he agrees with you and changes his name.
