I've never seen game of thrones, I knew there was a character called Shireen but I didn't know anything about it. Not a great story but surely people will forget about it a few years down the line

I know a Sherene who is thoroughly lovely, but I would not go with the GOT spelling.

I love it. It’s very game of thrones, but nowhere near as bad as khaleesi. I’d use it.

Terrible.

Scarred by a horrendous childhood disease and then publicly burned at the stake by her parents.

Not a great story behind the name.

It means sweetie in my language, if we see something sweet or call children sweetheart we would say "shireen/shireenak"

Take that away from my thinking, I don't really think it's a nice name tbh

Yup, it just makes me think of the poor little girl from GoT who was burnt at the stake by her crazy parents.

It’s a no from me.

I would think its not a name...

Game of Thrones. Burnt at the stake.
