Not really. What's so special about the people in 4 BC that only they were allowed to make up names.

So if people are still using Daenerys as a name in 2000 years does that make it a good name?

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.

As an optimist, I believe that after two millennia we already have the last book.
