What does "the one that got away" mean ? Because apparently there's a cultural thing I'm missing, since saying "my ex" isn't enough.

What if.... the wife chose the name but the husband didn't want to go against his wife's wishes for a nice name? Oh I don't know! Hope it was a name like Jessica or something. Nothing too unique.

Aw, there's a special kind of dysfunction to this that makes me wanna click the little star!

she's a girl

Okay, this makes me really angry. If your daughter finds out, she's going to be really messed up. 1) your wife and you are arguing, she overhears the reason, she blames herself for the martial issues between her mother and father 2) she feels like a token, like her identity is invalid. Her name isn't her own 3) her mother grows partially distant to her because her husband named the fruits of their love and her labor after another woman, and she blames herself/doesn't understand why her mother is looking at her like that Dude I could go on and on, why the hell did you do that?? She's just a child!

Maybe it was a coincidence? Maybe? Like maybe he always loved that name, and he happened to date someone with that name...

Nice job Krillin

People, it was not a coincidence or a mistake. If it were, it would not be such a defined part of the FML. He purposely named his child after the "one that got away". ****** up, dude. You deserve every bit of whatever you get.

I named our daughter after a woman I heard on a radio show every morning . I told my wife about the name and she liked it also. It's not creepy

Why would you name your own flesh and blood after someone you were "in love" with who I assume you slept with? That's so... Wow.
