  • I think about the amount of thought and research that many of my friends have conducted when naming their children (including looking up famous real and fictional people with that name, doing word associations, etc). Then these guys come along and just say ‘fuck it, let’s just call her after that blonde girl off TV, Khaleesi I think?’

    What’s funny is that back in ancient days, nobody gave a damn about how to name their kids. “Got a baby? My name is Paul. Let’s call him Paul McPaulson. Ok… back to the fields.”


  • I don’t know, man. It may sound stupid because we know of the show. But if you separate the show from the name, Khaleesi doesn’t sound half bad.

    Even its other meaning, which I think means “queen” or something (right?) is okay. The name “Reina” (literally “Queen” in Spanish) is acceptable - sort-of old-fashioned, but acceptable.

    Having said that, yeah, I usually roll my eyes at parents giving kids names because of some show, movie, song or celebrity with a weird name.

    My son will be named Barack, as God intended.
