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, 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

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.

Stacy's mom has got it going on. Hey, I was named after a "Playboy Centerfold" and my husband "Paul" was named after a T.V. actor. Everyone has a story behind their names. It's only sucks if you have an odd name that you hate and/or no one can pronounce.

That's a little bit too 'Sixth Sense' for my liking...

My name is Marie. My mom named me after the actress Marie Osmond. Yeah, it sucks. But at least Marie is a normal name. My kid has a girl in her gymnastics class named: Ja'Maleah.

It's cute, it's nothing to whine about. How did this even end up on fml?

I disagree. I'd take this as "you're sister is more important than you, so we named you simply because it would make her happy, we don't give a crap about you, we named you this to make how you well an inconvenience less so." Idk what im saying. But. Yeah.
