According to statistics published by the American Social Security Administration, in the US more babies are being named 'Khaleesi' than 'Betsy' or 'Nadine'. (Khaleesi means Queen in the fictional Dothraki language from Game of Thrones. The character is actually called Khaleesi — Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, of the blood of old Valyeria, mother of dragons. Twenty-one babies were named "Daenerys" in 2012. I bet at least one has been called "Mother of dragons".)

In the UK the most popular name for a pub is the Red Lion. (There are 756 "Red Lions" in the UK. So if you arrange to meet anyone at the pub, make sure you know which pub you're talking about.)
