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.
“My son’s name is also Joffrey.”
That’s an easy one to shrug off in years to come as a poorly spelled Jeffrey. Khaleesi just says “My name is one is a long line of bad mistakes my parents made.”
