What happens when the inspiration for your baby’s name goes from feminist powerhouse to mass murderer?

[nypost.com]

On Sunday’s penultimate episode of “Game of Thrones,” the platinum-locked dragon queen Daenerys “Khaleesi” Targaryen (played by Emilia Clarke), long touted as the “Breaker of Chains” for freeing slaves and fighting for common folk, resembles a maniac rather than a monarch. Atop her fire-breathing beast, she scorches the city-dwellers of King’s Landing, the capital that houses the up-for-grabs Iron Throne — even after they surrender. Daenerys’ dramatic shift was a shock to superfans everywhere. Many have been religiously glued to every episode for nine years, but for some, the stakes have never been higher: Since 2011, some 3,562 babies were named Khaleesi or Daenerys, according to the Social Security Administration. Five hundred and sixty little Khaleesis came into the world in 2018 alone.

....what none named after the dragons.....??
