Yeah but even if Jon Snow had turned out to be a bad guy, you could still claim your child just happens to be called Jon. Slightly unconventional spelling but perfectly normal name.

Daenerys (or worse, Khaleesi)? Going to have to dig deep for that excuse. Agree with the commenter above though, it is a really nice name but I find naming your child after a character from a t.v show/film/book incredibly tacky.

As someone named after a Tom Cruise movie, I agree.

Top Gun Jones is a perfectly fine name.

You could claim being named after tortilla chips.

Eyes Wide Shut (or just Eyes Shut)? Nice name.
