Yeah but naming someone after something from an unfinished series is still a very bold move. I could imagine a world where I name a kid after a fantasy character, but definitely not one where I name them after a fantasy character from an unfinished series. I mean, who knows where things might go!

Not inherently, no but you should never pick a name from any sort of media until their character arc is complete. Khaleesi was arguably fine until the character became an incestuous genocidal maniac.
That is now a major part of what people remember about the character. Just like you probably wouldn’t choose to name your child Hitler now, the name is linked with a certain individual and their actions even though the name had nothing to do with it.
When you pick a specific name or word from fiction that doesn’t otherwise exist, that link becomes even stronger, because that’s the only source.
