A woman was left “devastated” after her daughter’s passport application was rejected because she was named after a Game of Thrones character.
Lucy, 39, from Swindon in Wiltshire, said the Passport Office initially refused the application for Khaleesi, six.
Officials said they were unable to issue a passport unless Warner Brothers gave permission because it owned the name’s trademark. But the authority has since apologised for the error.
I sure hope they don’t rush it just because they want to go do some other projects!
That’d be disastrous.
No way in hell HBO would allow such a profoundly cultural phenomenon just go to shit. That would be insanely shortsighted for a company that takes such pride in their filmmaking.
