Were you caught out? Or waiting to see how it pans out?!

Oh, this is the same poster as the GOT is disgusting thread? [eyeroll emoji] [get a life emoji]

No one was immolated (immolised?) by Khaleesi; Daenerys has long since lost that title.

You say (to anyone who engages with you and of whose level of interest or investment in GOT you have not one clue) I find your investment in the soft-porn, gore and blood-fest that is GoT - a bit disturbing and (on the other thread) you’d hate to sit on a bus with anyone who watched it.
But sharing your life and a bed with someone who does, hey that’s OK! [FFS emoji]

But not as much as I regret calling my son Night King.
😂😂😂😂 pmsl

At least no one has a little baby Joffrey though.

SquishySquirmy · 22/05/2019 08:23

I do regret calling my daughter Khaleesi, yes.
But not as much as I regret calling my son Night King. If I'd known he'd turn out to be wrong 'un I would have picked something else! Maybe Ghengis?

NotAgainKen · 22/05/2019 08:21

Yes, I suppose all those 70s mothers who named their boys Gary after Gary Glitter should just have waited.

DownWithThisSortOfThin · 22/05/2019 08:17

I called my furbaby Khaleesi and she has always been a psycho. The signs were there all along. She's so pretty to look at though Smile

My other furbaby is also names after a 'good turned bad' character. I've only just realised that. We obviously have a knack for it.

Jinglejanglefish · 22/05/2019 08:16

How do you know what she did if you don't watch it?

Proseccofuelled · 22/05/2019 08:12

Name change ?

Proseccofuelled · 22/05/2019 08:12

No one answered your Q but you haven’t answered anyone else’s questions: WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH?! Grin

Also I think waiting a decade for a programme to complete before committing to a name would be difficult to maintain

HoldMeCloserTonyDanza · 22/05/2019 08:09

I don’t understand why this thread is still going on given OP’s immediate name change fail. She’s just trying to wind people up.

CostanzaG · 22/05/2019 08:04

Nobody has answered your question because none of us have called our children Khaleesi......

You seem to think that all GoT fans are obsessed to the point it infiltrates our entire lives. It's really all or nothing with you....there is no middle ground.

Has you DH asked if he call you Khaleesi in bed or something? Your obsession is a tad bizarre.

RitaTheBeater · 22/05/2019 07:52

I think there is someone at your work or at your dc school who you don't like very much and her dd is called Khalessi and you are really hoping she feels like a twat now. You can't ask her as you aren't friends.

People who have called their dc Khalessi won't be thinking about it now half as much as you clearly are. It's their child's name now. It's more associated with their child than it it with the original source of the name.

agirlhasnonameX · 22/05/2019 07:48

Doesn't it mean Queen?
Yes, yes it does.

@Miljah why would anyone feel anything? Why do you care? You realise it's a T.V show, right?

ReganSomerset · 22/05/2019 07:26

feel if you'd named your child a name that, at the time, you assumed meant 'strong' and 'fearless'; but transpired to mean 'Went crazy and immolated a lot of people

Doesn't it mean Queen? There'd be some good and some bad Khaleesis. Her actual name was Daenerys. And I imagine it wouldn't put anyone off that name in the same way that Ted Bundy hasn't put people off the names Ted or Theodore.

RedDogsBeg · 21/05/2019 23:03

Why wouldn't you wait for the end before taking stock?

Possibly because to wait for the end of GoT as you suggest the child could now be 10 years oldConfused.

PCohle · 21/05/2019 22:54

Why are you so obsessed with slagging off game of thrones fans?

And how do you do know so much about how it ended given you think anyone who watches it is some kind of deranged pervert?

Khaleesi is a title anyway, not the name of a particular character. I assume people who are big enough fans of the show to name their child after a character understand that.

NunoGoncalves · 21/05/2019 22:48

Tho no one answered the question

I think that's because nobody really cares

SavoyCabbage · 21/05/2019 22:40

I’ve had a Khalessi in my class for nearly a year now and nobody has ever mentioned it. Ever. Obviously the other children don’t know where her name has come from but it’s never ever come up in conversation with any of the adults.

I didn’t know it was from a TV programme until a couple of months ago. It’s just her name.

Thank you for 70 replies.

Tho no one answered the question- how you might feel if you'd named your child a name that, at the time, you assumed meant 'strong' and 'fearless'; but transpired to mean 'Went crazy and immolated a lot of people'......

Why wouldn't you wait for the end before taking stock?

What a strange thread Confused

Cbeebiesrehab · 20/05/2019 21:39

😆 what a weird thread.

Dillydallyingthrough · 20/05/2019 21:29

No interest in GoT - but I couldn't give a shit if other people enjoy it, you do sound seriously invested in it - almost in an odd way a super fan.

On a side night, I like the name, and it is seriously shitty to start a thread to just sneer at people who may have called their child after a TV character (have no idea but I'm guessing it's not a pleasant character). Do this make you feel in some way better than anyone else??

RedDogsBeg · 20/05/2019 21:11

Who's we?

PCohle · 20/05/2019 21:04

I thought you hated the show? Why are you so au fait with the fate of certain characters?

eddiestanleys · 20/05/2019 20:57

You watched it didn't you op ? !

Mississippilessly · 20/05/2019 20:55
