Khaleesi

I so called this after the first episode aired. I was like "hrm, this is fun to say...shit I bet everyone will start naming their kids this..."

SURE ENOUGH: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/4980765/Name-of-Thrones-146-babies-named-Khaleesi-in-the-US.html#ixzz2X9sTpNyO

I LOVE Arya...but it's far too popular now. Husband suggested it for our name bank before the show aired...it jumped from some 300 spots in one year!

ETA: I'm having issues with baby_names recently.

Has anyone else had issues? SOMETIMES I get a "You're entry has been added to the queue" and sometimes I get "error, the queue is FULL" and sometimes I get "poster has posted to many" even though I haven't posted at all in any community in a few days. Sometimes I get no message or error a tall and it works right away! I don't get it! haha. :)

I guess I should contact LJ?

If you have a link, your post usually gets put into a moderation queue. The moderator seems to be AWOL, so the queue never gets emptied. I have an entry I posted months and months ago that I didn't back up full of links.

The best way is to just post without any links, then edit the links in once posted.

You could try contacting said moderator instead of assuming and then saying potentially discouraging things. Sometimes I don't get the moderation emails.

Whatever post you're talking about is likely still there, if it did submit. I've got a few sitting there that I didn't know about until months later when LJ decided to alert me about another post. I can send you the text for a repost, if you'd like.

Yeah that's why i messaged you and you fixed it but i was still curious as to why since it seems to be a weird lj issue! Thanks! :)

It just always annoys me how many people I know think that Daenerys's name actually is Khaleesi, and don't get that it's just her title. But that's just me and my mini-GoT rant, lol.

As an actual name, I think it's pretty horrible. It's not even pretty.

Ah me too! I love the WORD but as a name no no no. :/ lol

I got confused when I heard her being called Khaleesi, I couldnt figure out if they had changed her name to fit her new culture or something.

I wonder if people realize that this is a made up word that doesn't actually belong to any language?
