By now you’ve seen or heard that Daenerys Targaryen, also known by her Dothraki title of Khaleesi, went full Mad Queen on HBO’s “Game of Thrones” last night and burned King’s Landing after the city surrendered to her troops:

It’s going to be a rough morning for some people:
I am disgusted by Daenery's actions in Season 8 Ep. 5 of @GameOfThrones yesterday. She and Drogon burnt to death thousands of innocent people at Kings Landing. I spent the last ten years loving her and hoping she will end up on the Iron Throne. I despise her now. #GameofThrones

And for hundreds of others, a lifetime of mockery awaits:
lmao at all the stupid millennials who named their kids Khaleesi

Is it so wrong to laugh?
Thinking about my Facebook friend who named her daughter Khaleesi a few years ago.

According to the Social Security Administration, 560 baby girls born in 2018 were named Khaleesi:
Game of Thrones baby names are more popular than ever. Here are some numbers from kids born in 2018:
Khaleesi: 560
Tyrion: 58
Brienne: 33
Jorah: 30
Sansa: 29
Ramsay: 15
Theon: 14
Khal: 9
Daenarys: 8
Benjen: 6See the full list: https://t.co/T8HskAfeP7

And this doesn’t even include misspellings of Khaleesi. From NBC News:
The 560 baby girls born last year named Khaleesi might want to be thankful they were not one of the 19 named Caleesi, or the five named Khaleesie (“yes, Khaleesi but with an ‘e’ at the end”).
Whoops:
People named they kid khaleesi before the series was over pic.twitter.com/Lfhr0tumK9

We’re also going to laugh at people who got Khaleesi tattoos:
Pour one out for the schmucks who got Danaerys tattoos, or named their kid Khaleesi. pic.twitter.com/w7VwiyVBmC
