Arya is a normal name though. Khaleesi was specifically made up title for GoT.

At least Khaleesi sounds pretty normal still. I've heard about people naming their kids with names they basically made up so their kid's is unique or really weird names otherwise. Unfortunately here in the states you'll hear about some that have named their kid after Adolf and other worse choices.

Hopefully no one named their kid Dickon

Here is a list. Moon Unit is first. Child of Frank Zappa.

List of weird name

I used to work with a guy named Pelvis. I couldn't bring myself to ask him where the name came from lol

Zappa’s kids are fine since they’re children of a famous person (not to mention talented in their own right) and have the privilege of not having to live like a normal person with a weird name.

Well with a dad with a name like Frank Zappa, you get what you get and hope for the best.

Could be worse, kid could be named Khaleesi
