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

Today, my boyfriend has had name ideas for his future son and daughter even before I met him, but so have I. He disregards my ideas and suggestions, and is hell bent on giving our kids names because he likes "the way they sound." 'Hippopotamus' sounds good, but who’d name their kids that? FML

Today, my husband and I agreed that he would name our first born and I would name our second. He's dead-set on naming our child "Raindropp" no matter whether it's a boy or girl. FML

Today, I learned that I'm expecting twins. A boy and a girl. My husband, upon finding out about this, immediately suggested that we give them Star Wars names. But not Luke and Leia. Oh no. He wants to name them Darth and Vayda. And he is absolutely serious about this. FML

Today, I heard my brother and sister-in-law discussing whether they should name my soon-to-be-born niece Annabelle or Samara. My nephews are named Jason, Freddy and Chucky. See the pattern? FML

Today, I learned that the hardest part of marrying a historian is choosing baby names. His top choices derive from two Roman magistrates, two abbesses, a tenth-century author, and an obscure Greek official. I already let him name our pug, for whom he chose the name "Tertullianus." FML

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

I don't know anyone named like me, and I love it. It's not overly crazy or foreign, either, and not a stupid spelling of a common name. It's pretty awesome!

kratos is a pretty kickass character from tales of symphonia, too. I SUPPORT THIS NAME.

first of all, its not a cartoon character, it is a video game. and an awesome one at that. and second. kratos is an amazing name and it has history to it. so rethink things before you begin bashing.

But that is a good thing. Imagine how popular your kid will be when God of War 3 comes out.

You should tell him. When naming a child you should decide on a name that BOTH of you like.

I don't think it matters what "deal" you made, if he had any sense he'd be respectable when you tell him that name is more than a ridiculous idea. Choose a name you both agree on, it's for the kid's best interest.
