[Sincere] Apart from it being a reference and sounding appropriative in some ways what's wrong with Khaleesi?

Isn't it like calling your kid Quigon, because you watched a lot of Star Wars?

Names are interesting things, and a deep interest of ours.

That's fair and a good point!

Oh, Lyra from "his dark materials", is it something else, or just that you like that name?
