Alternatively, should children be allowed to change their names to one in a restricted list anytime before 18, then to anything after 18?
The thing that annoys me the most about all those Khaleesis is that Khaleesi is NOT HER NAME, IT’S HER TITLE FFS.
That isn’t really that unusual, King and Queen are both used as names, so its not that weird. Steven King, Queen Latifah (stage name, but still), King C Gillete (inventor of the safety razor)
Last names and stage names are entirely different species of names. I maintain (based on no evidence and personal belief only) that most of the people burdening their daughters with this name don’t know it’s a title.
Edit: wait, I tell a lie, my evidence is that SO MANY people called Daenerys “Khaleesi” as her name. “Khaleesi did this, Khaleesi did that, my favourite character is Khaleesi, Khaleesi is Jon’s aunt.”
They probably dont know that its a title, but it doesn’t really matter. The character is colloquially known as Khaleesi, and thats what they are naming their kid after.
I don’t think its a good name either, given the TV series has largely fizzled, so its connection won’t make sense in a few years time, but being a title first doesn’t exclude it by itself (IMHO).
Man. I’m gonna go pout in my nerd corner now.
I’m sorry :( tell you what, when you run for president of the world, on a platform of “rename all Khaleesi’s to Daenerys”, I’ll vote for you :)
can’t be worse than the current pres. prolly.
Depends if your name is Khaleesi, and how mad on power they get. Im willing to risk it though.
That… means so much. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. 🥲
What about Regina King?
Now listen here, smartass. ;)
wait, I tell a lie
You sound like a character in a Shakespeare play! I love it.
Forsooth, Brudi, sein oder nicht sein, das geht steil, you egg.
Edit: I am inconsolable, I just came from this thread and my brain hasn’t recovered from the throwback so it produced this nonsense. le epic lulz.
