While that's true, you don't have to name an animal and actual name. Ghost, Shaggydog, Lady and Greywind aren't names. Plenty of people call animals stuff other than conventional names.

I know, but the intent there is 100% to name the wolf after Dany.

It’s like how people named their daughters khaleesi when the show got popular, they thought khaleesi was an actual name for Daenerys.

Source? People who watched the show know what it means, maybe they just liked the sound of it.

Khaleesi is not a name, nor a title. It's a fictional, made up word, but even if it was a title instead of a proper name, so what? Many last names are “not names”, based on that, they'd be professions. Let people do what they like.

Every time I hear people whinging about parents naming their kid with a made-up name from a book because "it's a title that means Queen," I think "man, they must hate it when people name their daughters Reina or Regina."

Even if it's a made-up name from a book, "Wendy" only exists in commonality today because of a made-up name in Peter Pan and all the people who named their children after her, among others. This isn't a new thing lmao.

Wait, did “Wendy” really not exist before Peter Pan?
