Is it really bad that I love this name?

surely its better than Storm Born :P

I just think the character is very strong woman which I love.

Ideas??

If he takes as long as he did writing book five, we'll probably still be waiting for book six when little Khaleesi is deciding what to call her own children Grin

Sounds like Kleeneze or Kleenex to me

JazzAnnNonMouse · 06/10/2013 09:37

(Probably best for a middle name though!)

JazzAnnNonMouse · 06/10/2013 09:31

People name their children princess-why not.

Got will probably not really be remembered when she's grown up.

It's a nice sounding name tbh!

I love Game of Thrones just don't love the name Khaleesi one little bit.

JumpingJackSprat · 06/10/2013 00:08

game of thrones is utter shite. just because you love it, doesnt mean that your child wont see it for the pile of misogynistic wank that it really is. so i wouldnt do it.

Ha! I thought this was going to be a joke thread. 21 born last year?? What the hell are people ON?

She should also have trained Darrio better

Yy. More time training dragons, less time drinking honeyed wine, nibbling on olives and shagging darrio.

And what is the point of riding a dragon if you can't control it? She really should have trained them better.

PossessedPollyPumpkin · 04/10/2013 12:35

YY, she was really boring in the last book. I got so fed up with the "I am just a young girl and know nothing of the ways of war"

I preferred her when she was burning people alive, sacking cities and raising armies Grin

MissBattleaxe · 04/10/2013 12:33

Don't name your child this. It's frankly unkind.

squoosh · 04/10/2013 12:29

Yes. And manage to be oh so boring whilst doing all of the above

sashh · 04/10/2013 12:28

I just think the character is very strong woman which I love.

Yes one has to be strong to murder a husband and burn someone alive. oh and to raise an army to take revenge on the people who killed your father (even though he was a murderous lunatic who roasted people alive).

TobyLerone · 04/10/2013 10:10

I'm not going to lie -- Daenerys is pretty much decided on for a middle name if this one's a girl. But Khaleesi is a step too far!

GillyBillyWilly · 04/10/2013 07:50
Shock

I am a huge GoT fan but seriously...NO.

Nest0fVapors · 03/10/2013 22:33

I thought it said Khazi at first!

spatchcock · 03/10/2013 22:12

No way. I'm usually really liberal about names but this time ... NO.

picnicbasketcase · 03/10/2013 21:59

It's a good point about it dating too, like if you'd had kids in the late eighties and named them Scott and Charlene.

Sleepthief · 03/10/2013 21:30

It's not a name, even in the books; it's a title, like Prime Minister, or chief executive...

NomDeClavier · 03/10/2013 12:00

No no no no no. No. No.

She has an incestuous relationship with her brother, gets basically sold off to the local horse lord and goes a tad loony.

Just don't. It's good fiction but that's where it needs to stay.

If you absolutely must use a GOT name use one that's an actual name and exists in the real world. Like Arya/Aria.

BadSeedsAddict · 03/10/2013 12:00

If you really love it, make it a middle name. My kids have crazy middle names and love them Smile

dyslexicdespot · 03/10/2013 11:24

Read the books before you even consider naming a child after one of GM characters! Danny is a right pain in the ass and will not turn out well- mark my words!

Madratlady · 03/10/2013 11:19

I think it's tacky to name your child after the popular tv show of the moment no matter what the name is.

I also find it worrying how many people seem to think that 'Khaleesi' is the character's name.
