whats hilarious are the niggers that think daenerys name is khaleesi so they name their kids khaleesi
>>
>>80492944
When your name her after the character's title, then yes it is. Hell, Danielle is even a genuine name for females, but instead parents have to stain their children with the name Kalheesi.
You're litterally admitting to your own child that you cared so little for her that you mindlessly named her for some shitty TV show that you didn't even watch enough to figure out that Kalheesi means queen in Khal language.

Even more stupidity, Khaleesi culturally translates to "brood mare". They are naming their kids "rape me for babies"

Yes. Don't do it.
Fictional character names become annoying in real life at some point.

A real name should follow you everywhere. It should be all purpose. It should be serious

>>80494119
I knew twins named Lucas and Leah, named after Luke and Leia. At least their parents had some class about it.
>>
My son is called CIA.
>>
If the name is similar or an actual real name (like naming a kid Jon after Jon Snow) its okay, but naming a kid some wild name thats obviously from fiction is retard and will almost guarantee that the kid will get bullied and shit on until theyre legally allowed to change their name (like naming your kid Gandalf)
>>
>>80492944
Oftentimes yes, but not necessarily. An author from my country, Mika Waltari wrote a famous book called The Egyptian (Sinuhe egyptiläinen), which was published in 1945. It had a chick named Minea in it. Waltari made up the name, but after 1945 it has been given to about 3500 women. In my opinion it's a pretty name, and it's one of the top names for my hypothetical daughter.

However, I would be pretty careful with giving your kids names of fictional characters. I've noticed a trend to try and give the child a unique name no-one else has and usually they end up being strange and cringy. Arya could potentially be a good name for a girl (not in Finland, though), but not Daenerys or Khaleesi. Brandon is already a real name and so is Jon, but Tyrion or Eddard would feel silly.

If it's a normal name then who cares. If it's a really dumb fantasy name like Daenerys then you're kid will live a horrible life getting made of constantly and will probably kill themselves as a teenager because you ruined their life before they were even born.

This. If it's a relatively normal-sounding name from a a morally-respectable character, then I guess its ok.

I guess names have to come from somewhere and I can't see us using the same stock of names forever, especially with a lot of old-fashioned ones are dying out now through lack of use. They've gotta come from somewhere I guess.

>I've noticed a trend to try and give the child a unique name no-one else has and usually they end up being strange and cringy.
Because if you just name your kid "Bob" he'll be forced to develop a personality to survive.
Shit I almost got named "Thor" because my dad liked the comic and he's a first generation norwegian immigrant. Then my mom overruled and named me "Chris" which means i was one of six other kids named that all through school.

This. A normal name inspired by a fictional character just means you don't have any tradition in your family, and are a bit of a pleb. Giving them a fictional character's name, that was made up for that work of fiction is full on irredeemable garbage tier, since your kid will probably have to spend half their life explaining where they got their name.

Que viens-tu de baragouiner à mon sujet, jeune paltoquet ? Sache que je fus le mousquetaire préféré de sa majesté, et j'ai conduit de nombreux assauts sur les adorateurs de Calvin, et j'ai estourbi plus de 300 chiens galeux de ta sorte. Je suis prompt à occire tous les hérétiques, et suis le meilleur arquebusier de toute la chrétienté. Tu n'es rien que de la panse de chien galeux pour moi. Je vais t'anéantir avec un zèle que le genre humain ignore encore, rappelle-toi ces satanés mots. Pensais-tu qu'une échappade furtive suffirait à me couper les bras ? Médite cela, foutriquet. Alors que nous parlons, j'informe mes correspondants dans tous les régiments de dragons qui peuplent la terre natale, et ton nom de baptême circule de bouche en bouche dans les plus sombres tavernes du royaume, si bien que tu ferais mieux de faire tes prières devant le sort infâme qui t'attend, sac à purin. Le sort qui anéantira le sale je ne sais quoi que tu appelles, avec outrecuidance, ta vie. Tu es déjà décédé, foutredieu. Je puis apparaître partout, n'importe quand, pour t'occire de sept cent manières différentes, sans même daigner enlever mes gants. Mortecouille, je suis plus qu'aguerri à couper les jarrets des marauds comme toi, et j'ai de surcroît tous les canons du royaume de France à ma disposition, et j'en ferai bon usage pour pulvériser ta carcasse de renégat et en débarrasser la couronne de France, nom d'un chien. Si seulement tu savais quelle divine rétribution ton petit commentaire de jean-foutre allait faire choir sur tes abattis, peut-être aurais-tu tourné sept fois la langue dans ton misérable gosier. Mais tu ne le pus, tu ne le fis, et tu en recueilles à présent l'effroyable moisson, triple buse. La fureur du ciel va pleuvoir sur ton enveloppe terrestre, et tu t'y noieras sans échappatoire. Tu vas rejoindre le Père éternel, cornichon.
