The Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen, as portrayed by Emilia Clarke in"Game of Thrones," has thousands of namesakes in the United States, data show. By Christopher Ingraham Christopher Ingraham Reporter covering all things data Email Bio Follow May 13 at 12:04 PM Warning: Full spoilers below for Game of Thrones Season 8, episode 5, ‘The Bells.
Then, in last night’s episode, she wantonly slaughtered thousands of innocents in a fit of rage, becoming the very sort of tyrant she was previously dedicated to overthrowing. That could spell trouble for the thousands of American parents who’ve named their babies after the character. “Khaleesi” alone was the 549th most popular name for girls in 2018, according to the Social Security Administration, ranking above such classics as Priscilla , Anne and Rosie .
Last month, the mother of a 1-year-old Khaleesi told the New York Times that in a decade or so, the name would be a familiar one. People would recognize that it means “strength,” she predicted, “a woman who knows her power, knows what she wants.”
WTF? Why would parents let their kids watch a show that features grotesque violence and pornography-level sex acts? The very first episode was enough to make any parent never let their kids watch
Should have named them Arya
Think of all the regrets the parents in Syria and Yemen have for not leaving their country sooner..
How can it be true?
Your analysis of collusion delusion, Mueller report, spygate, immorality of walls, total denial of existence of caravans, crisis at the border, Covington kids, etc. was such that I could never trust you to break down GOT. Wapo is FakeNews.
David ran a protection racket and was a murderer so...
My take away is that 3500 parental pairs need a life.
What makes more sense....parents naming their children after actual historical figures who actually did heinous things. Those are the parents that should regret it lol
Why. Haven’t they been telling girls to slay queen ?
Pray for the parents that named their children Donald, Ivanka, Jared, Kellyanne, Sarah, or Reince. Those are truly horrible names that will really haunt them for the rest of their lives.
Hey, it could’ve been Dichon.
never mind the episode, who would name their kid Khaleesi ?!
All the signs were there that Danny was going to be the Mad Queen. Obviously, these people didn't pay attention.
A shit season 🤬
Imma double down and name my son Dracarys
imagine idolizing any one person so much that you name your child after them
Why would you think Game of Thrones is appropriate viewing?
They should have had regret long before last night. lol
when the final season start ? because what we watch now is shit season
Umm, the first book came out in 1996. If you're going to only go by the TV show's popularity, it didn't become a huge hit until the third season. Would be interesting to see when the names started showing up on the index.
The clickbait was too strong. But it is funny.
Guess they weren’t paying attention.
Lol. I have no regrets about naming my baby stringer bell
