I like to imagine the parents explaining why they named their daughter Khaleesi. "Well, we thought it was the name of a lady who got sold by her brother to a barbarian warlord, became a queen, and then lost her shit, and burned a bunch of people to death. Oh yeah, there's a bunch of incest and rape in the story too but we'll save that for when you're a little older. And anyway, that's not even actually her name. Turns out Khaleesi is just 'princess' in a made up language."

Agreed completely on Sephiroth. Seph isn't a terrible nickname either.

Look up "Names that mean Princess," there's a lot of them, many quite common. And with some backstories that aren't much better

I know. It makes it even less original and more silly.
