<p>At the peak of <em>Game of Thrones'</em> popularity, the mothers named their daughters Khaleesi. Not the Queen but Khaleesi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now one such mother was left devastated after her daughter's passport application was denied because she was named Khaleesi.</p>

<p>According to a New York Post report, Lucy, from South West England, told the BBC that the initial application to get her daughter, Khaleesi, 6, a passport was denied.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I never thought you could trademark a name," she added.</p>

<p>"If I hadn’t posted this on social media, nothing would have been done. I would have been stuck, not knowing what to do," she said.</p>

<p>"I am hoping the passport will be issued soon and was promised that they would call back in a few days to see if it had progressed," she told the New York Post.</p>
