The idiocy of naming your kid Khaleesi aside

It's nice sounding as a name though, I wouldn't be in a rush to condemn someone for it. Now when it's the 5th "unique" spelling of Madison that starts to get a little ridiculous.

It's a nice sounding name if you don't know where it comes from. Considering how well known Game of Thrones is it sounds like "I'm sorry your parents are idiots."
