6-year-old girl denied passport because she’s named after ‘Game of Thrones’ character

A UK mother was left “absolutely devastated” after her daughter’s passport application was denied because she was named after a popular “Game of Thrones” character- New York Post reports.

Lucy, from South West England, told the BBC that the initial application to get her daughter, Khaleesi, 6, a passport was denied — with officials telling her she needed Warner Brothers’ approval because it owns the name’s trademark.

“I was absolutely devastated, we were so looking forward to our first holiday together,” Lucy said.

The 39-year-old mom was planning their “dream” trip to Disneyland Paris when she got the bad news.

After receiving legal advice, the disappointed mom learned her daughter was allowed to use that name, and forwarded that information to the Passport Office.

“I didn’t understand and felt frustrated. If she could get a birth certificate, would something not have been flagged up then?” she said.

“I never thought you could trademark a name,” she added- New York Post
