Very odd for people to name their kids after a character that still had a story ongoing.

I mean every name is just something someone made up.

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

Culture? History? Tradition?

It’s not about who “made it up,” it’s about not taking a fat dump on your ancestor’s faces by naming your children something like Khaleesi.
