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.

When I have kids, if I have a son, he'll be Andrew Ryan (first and middle names) after the BioShock character. They're common names with a geeky connotation together. Works for me.

Hmmm...well...you did say he could name him. Maybe you could pick the middle name, and you could call him the middle name. (My friend is named Christopher, but he goes by his middle name...Joel)

I hope you realize that you wrote "expectant child" which means your child is expecting a baby. Fail.

#35 totally with ya. I was just about to post something about the kids name being optimus prime! I'm 4 months pregnant and if we have a girl were naming her after the little girl in the ewok adventure movie...and I'm a female. So both men and woman are capable of unique names! Plus....Kratos is a totally awesome name! Kids lucky to have an awesome dad.

"Today, my husband and I were talking about names for our expectant child." Proof-read/learn some grammar, please. It looks like you have a kid that's pregnant.
