Maybe you should have had him pick another name. I mean not all names from games are bad, my mother let me pick my 7 year-old sisters name: Aeris from Final Fantasy ^_^ and she's pregnant again and I already named it Kairi from Kingdom Hearts ^_^ So don't discriminate against game names most of them are kick ass, but YOU are the one that actually let him name your son that, so deal with it.

that kid will never get a date. unless he's unbelievably hot and charming. and #207 that is hilarious!!!

I wish I was called Kratos. Seriously. And Kratos was an actual Greek god, by the way. Just like naming your kid Venus or Minerva (although those are Roman god names, they are the same as Aphrodite and Athena from Greek mythology). In my opinion, I don't see what's so bad. Better than some of the celebrity child names there are nowadays.

You have veto power, you are carrying the child. As a member of the name police I can't allow you to do this!

You are averreacting. The Kratos is not "nake-believe" cartoon character. It is person from Greek mythology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cratos and the game just borrowed it. It is strange name. But not a worst one. Are you sure, the nome you picked for you daugher wasnt ever used in any game / movie / book for some stupid character?

I don't really think this one classifies as an FML cause that kid is going to be the coolest kid in school.

Re: Interviews Alternatively, at 25 he gets an interview at the next-pre-IPO-google because the 45yr old manager has good associations with the name since he loved playing GoW in his 20's and the name sticks out from the stack of ordinary names on the resumes. He gets a cool story to relate in the interview, making him stand out further and making him memorable - as comments attest, a good proportion of people think it's cool, and even if half of the commenters are teenagers, in 25 years they're going to be the ones making hiring decisions. He's a multi-millionaire by 30, retired by 40, and doesn't give a crap what people think of his name at 45. Plus, it's not like it's some totally weird name that would prevent him from making anything of his life, like say, Barack.

I went to the hospital a few days ago to see my new baby cousin Carson. I wasn't really of a fan of that name choice. But then there was another lady that was sharing the room. And she named her new daughter A-La. But you don't say it how you think. It's pronounced "Adashla". You actually say the word 'dash'. F that girl's life. And people, the father isn't naming the kid after a badass Greek god. He's naming him after the video game character. I'm sure if his wife never posted this, they may have never known Kratos was even a god.

your talking down on that name? Why?

I feel so bad for you. Tell your husband no.
