Breaking News: UK Girl, 6, Denied Passport For Being Named After ‘Game of Thrones’ Character
Ready for some drama worthy of the Iron Throne? Imagine planning your dream vacation to Disneyland Paris, only to have it postponed because your kid’s name is too epic for a passport! That’s exactly what happened to a little girl named Khaleesi.
The Plot Twist
So, here’s the tea. Lucy, a 39-year-old mom, named her daughter after the fierce ‘Game of Thrones’ character, Khaleesi. You know, the title given to Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons. All was well until they applied for a passport, and BOOM – the Passport Office said, “Hold up! Warner Brothers owns that name!”
A Stark Reality Check
Lucy was absolutely gobsmacked. “It was the first I’ve heard of such a thing – I was astonished,” she told the BBC. The Passport Office demanded approval from Warner Brothers, leaving the family’s Disneyland dreams in jeopardy.
Did You Know?
The name ‘Khaleesi’ surged in popularity after ‘Game of Thrones,’ with many parents across the globe naming their daughters after the powerful character. In India, names like Arya and Sansa also became popular!
Legal Jousting
Lucy’s lawyers went into battle, discovering that while ‘Game of Thrones’ is trademarked, it’s meant for products and services, not people. Still, the Passport Office insisted on a letter from Warner Brothers. Talk about bureaucracy gone mad!
The Power of Social Media
Frustrated and desperate, Lucy turned to social media to vent. And guess what? It worked! The Passport Office called to apologize and promised to process Khaleesi’s passport. Power to the people, right?
Trivia Time!
Other popular screen names that have inspired real-life baby names include Hermione (from Harry Potter), Elsa (from Frozen), and even Krish (from movie Krish).
Final Word
Now, Lucy and her daughter are back on track to fulfill their Disneyland dreams. Hopefully, the passport will arrive soon, and their tale of woe will end with a happily ever after.
