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.

      There’s a final season? I’m pretty sure they decided to wait for GRRM to finish the books as it would be silly to just go off the map and start making things up, as that could go awfully wrong.

      First season is heavy enough isn’t it? Life lessons:

      • get abused by your family
      • get burned
      • get fucked

        Well I think the lesson is that after all the hardship she still fights her way to the top. That is at least inspiring. Then the last season happened.
