Today, I figured out why my name is Ashley. In order to tell my older sister about getting a new little sister, my parents thought it would be a good idea to make her imaginary friend "Ashley" real. FML

Today, I found out via Facebook that my older sister just had another baby, a whole week ago, whose name is my middle name. No one told me. I didn't even know she was pregnant. FML

Today, my boss called me Ashley. My name doesn't even start with an A. I even wear a name tag. You would think after nearly four years, your boss would remember your name. Every time he speaks to me, it's a different name. FML

Today, I had to put my little sister to bed. Usually my mom sings her a lullaby before she puts her to sleep, so I did too. After I finished the song, my sister looked me dead in the eyes and said, "This is why I tell people we aren't related." FML

Today, I found out that my sister, who is 16 years older than me, is actually my biological mother. She and my parents decided it was best that I didn't know who my real mother was, and to be raised by my grandparents as their child. I've always hated my sister. FML

Today, my little sister asked me what she would look like when she got older. I told her that she would probably look a lot like me. She started to cry. FML

Today, we found out that my unborn sibling is a girl, and my parents quickly named her. In a few years' time, "Candida" is going to catch all kinds of shit at school, just like I do for being named Dorothy. My "friends" have already started calling me "Lil' yeast infection's sis." FML

Aw cute! Well your sister must've gotten some joy out of that! It's not like Ashley is a crappy name anyways!

So... if I want to make my imaginary friend real... I just have to get a girl pregnant? That would be a great idea, if only girls would talk to me.

This is cute. It's not an FML. Your parent's noticed how lonely your sister was and thought a sibling for her to play with would be a good idea. And since she had the imaginary friend, it would be easier to transition a new baby in the house. Then when she got older, she'd figure out the difference. Not a big deal. Least your name isn't a weird, random one.

To all the people saying it's cute, how would you feel if you were named after your sister's imaginary friend? It's just a little bit demeaning...

It would slightly demeaning to be told your named after a siblings imaginary friend. On the plus op at least your sisters friend had a normal name, honestly you could've ended up with a name alot worse.

I wouldn't care if I was named after an imaginary friend of my siblings. It's not a big deal. It's not like she's named the most god awful name out there... Just saying.

Thats if the story your parents are telling you is true. They may be messing around with you. I tell friends that my son Austin, is named after the professional wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin, even though he isn't, and my son knows its a gag and plays along with it. To me, it sounds like your parents are having a little fun with you.

Ok ya sucks for u but it is, in fact a really sweet way to tell the older sister and make her feel like part of your life instead of having rivalry right off. Sorry OP no FML

Is it weird that I find this pretty neat? I mean, if you were young like her sister was and your parents told you they'd MAKE YOUR FRIEND COME TO LIFE...I'm sorry but that would just be badass.

okay, so your parents got pregnant and the easiest way to tell your little sister was to say that her imaginary friend was going to be real..... how is that bad? that's not bad at all. its better than them having you just so your little sister could have her imaginary friend.... and thats still not a big deal! thats what my parents did with my little brother... they had him so i would have someone to play with... and besides, i'd much rather have a name with a meaning rather than one just chosen by random....
