Alternatively, should children be allowed to change their names to one in a restricted list anytime before 18, then to anything after 18?

    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.

    Edit: wait, I tell a lie, my evidence is that SO MANY people called Daenerys “Khaleesi” as her name. “Khaleesi did this, Khaleesi did that, my favourite character is Khaleesi, Khaleesi is Jon’s aunt.”

        Forsooth, Brudi, sein oder nicht sein, das geht steil, you egg.

        Edit: I am inconsolable, I just came from this thread and my brain hasn’t recovered from the throwback so it produced this nonsense. le epic lulz.

      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).
