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.

Hell yeah! That's the sickest name ever! But hopefully he's tough when he grows up otherwise people are gonna pick on him for having such a badass name haha.

Never give a man so much responsibility.

OP, go get cultured. Kratos is actually a legitimate word/name - Just because it was used in GoW doesn't make it any less awesome or neat. Your husband is awesome - You, on the other hand, sound like a boring ass. What are you going to name your kid? Paul? Chase? Jake? Ugh.

Kratos is not a made -up cartoon character, he's a Greek God. Greek god of war, that is.

222 - "I told my boyfriend that if we ever have kids together, I get the final say on their names because I'm the one carrying them and giving birth. He can give input, but it's my right." Like it is your choice to have the baby. No, you (the female) are having it because that's how biology works. It's not like you drew straws and your husband had 50% chance of carrying it. He didn't have a choice in the matter so because of that you say he can't name the kid? Put yourself in his position. If the roles were reversed and you had fathered the child would you want to hand over total control of naming to your wife? No, the baby is just as much his as it is yours. He donated the sperm and the baby wouldn't exist without him. Who carries it is irrelevant and doesn't give you any "right" to name it. Like other people here have said, parenting is a JOINT effort. You don't divide the roles between the parents; you share responsibility and come to mutual agreements.
