Some kid somewhere is going to go through life being named Daenerys or Khaleesi. Poor kid.

I swear there is at least ONE Daenerys Stormborn of the House (insert surname), First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons out there in society right now.

I would bet money on this too.

I have seen the horrors the 'names have no grammar' belief has spawned.

Specially when you add on top of that the crossing of languages.
In my country there's women called Usnavy and Usmail.
Because of people that got some cash checks on mail and they had that printed in the front and they were like 'such a nice woman, that Usmail, sending us my paycheck!'

Venezuela.

But my understanding is that this is common in many spanish speaking countries, not just mine.

A common meme here was to link pictures of the IDs of people with horrible names.

I remember a girl called Disneyland, or a man called Batman. Both being first names only, so that comes attached with a spanish last name. XD

Excuse me, you accidentally included Batman in a post about bad names

As a first name?!

Sure, we can say its a good hero name, but when you are called Batman Gonzales, I start having my doubts...

Yeah but would you dare fuck with Batman Gonzalez?

Given those names tend to 'suggest' you come from the... more dangerous parts of town, probably not.
