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??

I really like it. Arya is really nice too. I dont see a problem with it being a title rather than a name, I think its prettier than Daenerys. And it sounds like a name. You could spell it Khalissi or Kalissi or Calissi if you were worried about it sounding too like 'easy'.

I would go for Daenerys rather than khaleesi for the reasons posted by Clara, which is quite a nice albeit unusual name.

What Clara said.

I am a massive GOT fan but no. Dont do it

Sorry, I just laughed out loud.

Please, if you admire the character of Daenerys, just call her that. Would you call your daughter Empress, or Lady, or Marchioness?

Khaleesi is a title, not a name.

Awful, very contrived

Somebody who I went to school with has recently named her daughter this.

Problem is, it isn't a name, it's a title and a made up one at that.

Daenerys would be infinitely better. At least that's actually her name. Or if somebody was being inspired by GoT, there are plenty of passable names in there. Arya for example I quite like.

Ummm, you do realise the potential for teasing if your daughter's name contains "easy", don't you? Hmm
