Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal?

Last names and stage names are entirely different species of names. I maintain (based on no evidence and personal belief only) that most of the people burdening their daughters with this name don’t know it’s a title.

They probably dont know that its a title, but it doesn’t really matter. The character is colloquially known as Khaleesi, and thats what they are naming their kid after.

I don’t think its a good name either, given the TV series has largely fizzled, so its connection won’t make sense in a few years time, but being a title first doesn’t exclude it by itself (IMHO).

    I’m sorry :( tell you what, when you run for president of the world, on a platform of “rename all Khaleesi’s to Daenerys”, I’ll vote for you :)
