You know a TV show has achieved a certain level of popularity when it inspires the names of a future generation.
When you consider how unusual many of the characters' names on Game of Thrones are, then it's safe to say this is one very influential show.

With 2,545 babies named after everyone's favourite faceless assassin, data shows that 'Arya' is the 119th most popular name in the US.
Also popular is 'Khaleesi' - 560 baby girls were named after the Mother of Dragons in 2018, and that's just for that specific spelling. There are also 19 Caleesis and five Khaleesies to take into account. Phew.

Mum Jasmine Estrada named her six-year-old daughter Khaleesi and, having watched Daenery's descent into madness, admits: "I'm kind of in shock."

Speaking to The Daily Beast , she added: "It was kind of disappointing that her power trip took over. That was not cool."
So does she regret her choice of name for her daughter?
