Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal?

  That isn’t really that unusual, King and Queen are both used as names, so its not that weird. Steven King, Queen Latifah (stage name, but still), King C Gillete (inventor of the safety razor)

    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).
