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.

Why are people so stupid? Naming children is not a "one person privilege." Both parents (provided that they are both going to be involved in the child's life whether they are together or not) should decide on the names together! There shouldn't be any, "I'll name this one, you can have the next one." Can you imagine what will happen if you end up raising some over-sensitive kid who finds out that his parents couldn't be bothered to work together to come up with a name? Not only will he be stuck with some stupid name, but then he'll have this horrible thought of, "Geez, mommy must not have wanted me at all if she didn't even want to have anything to do with naming me!" Granted, that's an extreme case, but still, if you're so incapable of working with your husband to figure out a name you both like, then you deserve it and I feel sorry for the kid. With a name like Kratos, he's bound to end up being an over-sensitive freak. Sucks, yes, but it's likely. Good job on failing your child before he's even been born. :-) Wow . . . I guess I'm in a bad mood, today . . . whatever.

Kratos is an awesome name. Your son would love it...or he should. Did you ever say that name to yourself a few times? Probably not...you just saw it was a "cartoon character" and passed judgement. You are too close minded.../facepalm

Well if Zeus decides to get all fussy we know who we can turn to my name is shit, i have a nickname, give him a nickname, problem solved (if he doesnt change his mind)

Kratos was a titan. In greek mythology. He ATE HIS KIDS LOL LOL LOL

#252, closed mindedness is one of the best virtues in life. Only an idiot would name their kid Kratos. That kid will be repeatedly beat up (and for good reason). I say divorce the man.

hahaha, it's your fault. Never trust guys with decisions you care about.

Regardless of video games being awesome, regardless of Kratos technically being a name already... everyone will know you named him after a video game character. Especially his teachers (they'll be your age!) If you're going to do that, at least pick a reasonable sounding name like Zelda, Dante, etc. God damn.

That's an awesome name! No one is going to bully a kid named Kratos, they'd be afraid that he'd be able to kill them. Awesome name.

I'm not sure why you're complaining, Kratos is a badass.
