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.

At least Pokemon names have a fun background.
Now imagine all the girls named Khaleesi after Game of Thrones. Especially after her character arc finished. That wasn’t even her name, it was a title. They’re literally just named Queen.
- Comment on YouTube will use Gemini to insert ads around the parts of a video you care about most 1 year ago:
Oh yeah they do, and they totally can. There’s no AI at all in any of this shit.
Watch, Gemini is what they’re going to just call the algorithm soon. New and improved, “AI powered” algorithm. Just another layer to blame unpopular changes they push through.
