Comment on I wonder how many US babies have been named Donald in the last few years and may live to regret it.

  Which I never understood. Khaleesi was her title, not her name.
  It´s equivalent-ish to naming a kid King or Czar or something.

    Like Cesar, or Roy, or Regis, etc.

    It's even worse, because my understanding is that "Khaleesi" doesn't actually mean "queen", but would more accurately mean "concubine/wife of the king/khal". I believe the queenship is only implied after the death of the khal.

      Not really implied by the term itself, since after the death of the khal the khaleesi are basically exiled to the capital. Daenerys only brought greater meaning to the title when she used it in her conquests.

    Donald means something like “ruler of the world,” so not far off.

  My niece named her daughter after Bella from Twilight. At least her full name is Isabella, but the inspiration is there.

    Tell her to tell people she’s named after the Phineas and Ferb character. There’s zero down side.

  A lot of us jumped on the fad of naming our daughters after Game of Thrones characters, especially the ones popular in the earlier seasons. And then D and D came along as show runners, and fucking wrecked everything for our baby girls. So Hodor, I regret getting sucked into that show and hope you’ll forgive me one day.

    I like the name actually and don’t think it’s bad at all. The shower thought OP posted just reminded me of it. This dothraki female liberator saving her people —-> dragon firing everyone lol

    I don’t think Khaleesi or Donald are going to be names that are dunked on in the future, at least not that badly.
