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

i dont get the "i name one kid, you name the other" mentality. why dont you just work together to find a name you both like?

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

BEST FML EVER!!!! Hahahahha too awesome for words!!

I think it's funny that everyone is saying Kratos is a legit name because he was a REAL Greek god. Hey guys, guess what. Greek gods were fictional characters, too. Like #77, I would totally name my daughter Aerith, or Navi, or Lara. Taking names from videogames is awesome. So long as it is a name that doesn't evoke expectations that the kid isn't likely to live up to. Unless this kid is going to grow up to have shoulders 5 times the size of his head, a nifty scar over one eye and a giant, mysteriously perfectly shaped birthmark thingie over the rest of his bald head, I just don't think the name would suit him. OP was totally wrong to insinuate that videogames are below her. Though I doubt that she intended to.

my baby's due in september, the father wants to name him karmann after the volkswagen.

I'm gonna have to agree that that is an awesome name. And an awesome game. My mother happens to be named after the Roman goddess of the hearth and home. **SPOILER ALERT** A word of warning, though - Kratos kills his family

so Kratos is a really cool unique name, i think your son would love it, you told your husband he could pick it, and he did, unless you are really against that name then i say leave it be =)

Simply say, "Honey, when I told you that you could name our son, it was under the assumption you weren't out to ruin his life."

FhisL for marrying a dumb bitch who judges every action based on the first impression. As has been said dozens of times, even if he got the idea of the name from a game, its the Greek word for strength and the name of the actual Greek god of war from myth. Besides, by the time he grows up, nobody will even remember that game anyway, so its not like when he introduces himself, people will ask "HURRR, from the God of War game?" It might fit a little weird if you picked a generic name for your daughter, which I can tell you did by how upset you are over a little creativity, but again, thats your fault for being a bland, homogenized product of society.

That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. You still have veto power, he just gets to pick the name. You can set up ground rules. Like, you don't name your child "Tampon" and he doesn't name your kid smething stupid.

dude that is freaking 17 different kinds of awsome! all i'd have to say was goddamnit how did i not think of that first!
