I also know someone who called their daughter Khaleesi, she’s at school now so the are at least 3 Khaleesis in the country of different ages! Its not even an actual name in GoT let alone real life!

my son is named after my cat

tibbles? :D

Three kids shamelessly named after Harry Potter characters.
My husband has no idea.

@heartofgold i wish I could call her that for a nickname but she's too dainty she's named after the cheerleader Andie. We get a mixed response to it.

RE - Khaleesi, I think what makes it so dreadful is that it will date the owners’ birth to such a specific time period. When all these Khaleesis are middle aged, anyone can guess that they were almost definitely born between 2011 and 2019.

It’s not like the names from Harry Potter, LOTR or most other book series in that they’re classic or folk names. It’s just a made up word.

I know 3 little boys who have character inspired middle names Sherlock, Mycroft and Sirius

I was named after a character in an Audrey Hepburn film....

Dd and ds1 are both names after characters in my favourite childhood books.

Ds2 is named after my grandad.

All 3 names are minor characters in Harry Potter (coincidently!)

DDog is named after a character on One Tree Hill.

I met an Arwen the other day which was a name completely made up by Tolkien.

Arwen wasn't made up by Tolkien. Eowyn was.

My other son is named after an actor.His name is Kiefer

We have a Buffy character, although my DH didn't realise and I was quietly celebrating. We also have a classic romance novel character (well a derivative of the name). Funnily enough her name is also linked to Buffy. I am a massive fan.
