Good. I can't imagine any child appreciates growing up with a name like that.

At least Pokemon names have a fun background.

Now imagine all the girls named Khaleesi after Game of Thrones. Especially after her character arc finished. That wasn't even her name, it was a title. They're literally just named Queen.

Many names have meanings similar to that, and yet they're names. I don't think a name such as khaleesi is inherently bad

Yeah but naming someone after something from an unfinished series is still a very bold move. I could imagine a world where I name a kid after a fantasy character, but definitely not one where I name them after a fantasy character from an unfinished series. I mean, who knows where things might go!
