Alternatively, should children be allowed to change their names to one in a restricted list anytime before 18, then to anything after 18?

Last names and stage names are entirely different species of names. I maintain (based on no evidence and personal belief only) that most of the people burdening their daughters with this name don’t know it’s a title.
Edit: wait, I tell a lie, my evidence is that SO MANY people called Daenerys “Khaleesi” as her name. “Khaleesi did this, Khaleesi did that, my favourite character is Khaleesi, Khaleesi is Jon’s aunt.”
You sound like a character in a Shakespeare play! I love it.
Forsooth, Brudi, sein oder nicht sein, das geht steil, you egg.
They probably dont know that its a title, but it doesn’t really matter. The character is colloquially known as Khaleesi, and thats what they are naming their kid after.
I don’t think its a good name either, given the TV series has largely fizzled, so its connection won’t make sense in a few years time, but being a title first doesn’t exclude it by itself (IMHO).
Man. I’m gonna go pout in my nerd corner now.
I’m sorry :( tell you what, when you run for president of the world, on a platform of “rename all Khaleesi’s to Daenerys”, I’ll vote for you :)
can’t be worse than the current pres. prolly.
That… means so much. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. 🥲
What about Regina King?
Now listen here, smartass. ;)
