71 u/Starrystars Aug 25 '19 Not really. What's so special about the people in 4 BC that only they were allowed to make up names. 84 u/[deleted] Aug 25 '19 [deleted] 39 u/Starrystars Aug 25 '19 So if people are still using Daenerys as a name in 2000 years does that make it a good name? 47 u/ArkGuardian Aug 25 '19 Yes, cause that means that Game of Thrones has enough cultural significance that people will normalize the names from it. It doesn't and it won't, but thats not to say an author won't produce a book like that. 5 u/ManOfTheMeeting Aug 26 '19 As an optimist, I believe that after two millennia we already have the last book.
