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

I wish I had called one of my DDs Arya, love the name.
I'm not sure people with a DD called Khaleesi will feel anything tbh...I think you're confusing Danaerys with Khaleesi- the latter being a title like 'Prince' and there being rather a lot of them in GoT Confused

Chancewouldbeafinethlng because the character shags her nephew and burns thousands of innocent men, women and children alive.
(She started out as a nice character who freed people from slave masters).

I like the name kaleese I think it has a nice sound

Missing point

Chancewouldbeafinethlng · 18/05/2019 08:12

What’s happening? I don’t watch game of thrones, can someone tell me why someone might be upset about the name?

Proseccofuelled · 18/05/2019 08:09

Are you drunk ?! Confused

RedRiverShore · 18/05/2019 04:48

Well, I knew there was a poo troll, is this the GoT troll

MrMeSeeks · 18/05/2019 01:28

You are genuinely over-invested in this. You are actually deeply angry that I find your investment in the soft-porn, gore and blood-fest that is GoT - a bit disturbing.

It’s not others who are over invested.
You’ve started two threads and knocked anyone who disagrees with you Hmm
( not defensive, i never got into it, i do however people can enjoy what they like, certainly does not mean there is something wrong with them for enjoying it Hmm
This thread is smug and nasty towards people who have named gof names ( as if people don’t use names from other shows).

RedDogsBeg · 18/05/2019 00:45

It's just a nasty thread started by someone with a bee in their bonnet UnicornsandRainbows1.

PCohle · 18/05/2019 00:43

Who the fuck cares this much about a TV they don't even like?

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 18/05/2019 00:41

I'm so bloody confused 😕

NunoGoncalves · 18/05/2019 00:39

310 sorry, not 31.

NunoGoncalves · 18/05/2019 00:38

Seems about 31 out of about 1.7 million girls born in the last 5 years have been named Khaleesi. I doubt many – if any – of their parents are on mumsnet tbh.

Blossom28 · 18/05/2019 00:34

I just think it’s bonkers to let yourself get so mad about a tv show.. it’s not real, and violence has always been used in entertainment. people who named their child Khaleesi probably did so because they liked the name and probably won’t be that bothered about what the fictional namesake is getting up to! Many people have namesakes who have done something terrible, and are fine! I don’t think you need to worry about it :)

Blossom it's always a good retort to imply a responder is 'so worked up' etc. I've used it on your fellow GoT fan club. I'm bowing out as I have work coming in.

OP posts:
RedDogsBeg · 18/05/2019 00:27

Not over invested in the slightest just think people who get their kicks out of starting threads to sneer at others are despicable and that is exactly the point of this thread.

The only person here who is disturbing is you, OP.

For the record I am neither angry nor feeling anything viscerally, you on the other hand.

Blossom28 · 18/05/2019 00:19

Wow Miljah, why are you so worked up about a show that you don’t like?! Very simple, don’t watch it and don’t talk about it!

Red, like I have already stated on(the other thread)......Take step back.

You are genuinely over-invested in this. You are actually deeply angry that I find your investment in the soft-porn, gore and blood-fest that is GoT - a bit disturbing.

I observe; you appear to feel, viscerally.

Step back.

OP posts:
RedDogsBeg · 18/05/2019 00:08

You haven't upset me in the slightest, I find your attitude and behaviour in starting a thread to sneer at parents for their name choices in order to smugly pat yourself on the back for being so superior quite reprehensible.

Don't be disingenuous you are not just saying GoT is grim.

Thallo · 18/05/2019 00:02

No one as invested as you it would seem!

Miljah · 18/05/2019 00:00

Red it wasn't my intention to upset you so much. I am genuinely amazed and surprised how invested so many people are in this vile, gory, ugly faux medieval 'fantasy' that they are coming on so furious with me for even suggesting that GoT is rather grim.

OP posts:
RedDogsBeg · 17/05/2019 23:56

You seem to have a very unhealthy obsession with this show.

What are you aiming to achieve with this thread? Are you really so desperate to be holier than thou and shout a smug "I told you so" that you need to do so by sneering at others people who may have chosen names from GoT for their children.

To paraphrase a line from your other thread - What is wrong with you?

Miljah · 17/05/2019 23:53

No, I haven't changed my mind. I feel 100% vindicated about what I've posted! But I am also mindful that my opinion might be upsetting, particularly if you have chosen that name.

Miljah MNHQ don't read all threads. They are unlikely to delete your threads because you've changed your mind about posting.
