Pop Culture: Should you name your child after a movie character?
Manage episode 501016098 series 3684188
After Game Of Thrones became a hit TV show, people in Washington state started naming girls Khaleesi, the royal title for Queen Daenerys. This started in 2012, and between then and 2023, there have been 119 babies named Khaleesi born in Washington. (And depending on your view of that character’s storyline, some folks might feel differently about the name Khaleesi now. )
On this very personal episode of Meet Me Here, host Dyer Oxley brings his wife Nina into the studio along with two baby name experts to discuss if they should give their child a name from pop culture.
