Khaleesi

[jaynebear]

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??

My cousin in the US, her friend has named her newborn daughter Khaleesi, and my first thought was "how tacky."

Tacky with a capital K.

Bad and wrong

Just awful and will date very badly.

I cringe, inwardly and outwardly, when people name their kids after fantasy characters. It'd be on a par with calling your kid Gandalf or Kal-El. Besides Khaleesi is the most deadly dull chaarcter on GOT. Seriously, she's a total snooze.

DON'T DO IT.

But you would be able to shout khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaleeeeeeeeeesi in the park like

Sounds like Kleeneasy the trash magazine

Ooooh ball sacks, it is about 30 seconds in. Tried to link to the exact point, but failed.

I love the character but think it would be a crazy name. According to the ONS 2012 data there were 21 baby girls called Khaleesi born last year though so maybe its on its way up....

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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

I thought it said Khazi at first!

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

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!

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).

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

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

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

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

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