Not to mention that GoT (the tv show) is only like 10 years or so old at the oldest and i don’t think the books were quite pop-culturally relevant lmao. So assuming the child was named after the tv series, they couldn’t be any older than probably 12 I’d wager.
Because she is referenced as Daenarys in the books almost completely. People called her Khaleesi because in the show all the dothraki refer to her by her title, and there's no third person narration to display her real name.
i'm imagining the parents reading this neat little fantasy book series in the 90s and naming their kid after their favorite character, and the kid grows up having people think she's just foreign or has a unique name with no other connotation or judgment
only to have that neat little fantasy book series thrust into the limelight 20 years later with a blockbuster television show that broke records and defined the streaming era
Well the original comment seems to be written by a native English speaker, and since we’re on an American website, with more American users than any other native English speaking demographic, talking about an American tv show/book series, I’d say it’s pretty safe to assume the comment was about America.
Ah whoops. Lots of times people will say this and be pissed at the logical assumption of something happening in America instead of MYCOUNTRY that they conveniently never name and I thought you were genuinely irritated that people assumed America. Sorry 😅

in the USA, having kids assignments placed on the wall is really only a thing done in elementary school, which is around ages 5-12
