At least Arya is a name; Khaleesi is a title

So is Christ, and therefore Christine and Christopher. Or Rex. Or Duke... Or Earl... Or Lady... Or Baron.

Bishop.

Pope.

Smith.

I'm sure there are more.

Don't care. Gonna name my firstborn Right Honourable

"Major Major had been born too late and too mediocre. Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three. Even among men lacking all distinction he inevitably stood out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who met him were always impressed by how unimpressive he was."

most of those aren't first names

earl

Earl is a real name. However, for this one, they explain in the series that he was supposed to be named Carl like his father, but due to sloppy handwriting he ended up being named Earl

The last three, maybe (though I'm sure you could find someone with at least one of those as a first name), but everything before that are used at least irregularly.

Smith is a profession more than a title, and is also generally a surname. I'll give you Christopher and Rex though

At least Arya doesn't go full speedrun genocidal maniac because the showrunners are bored and think they have Star Wars money coming.

Never name your kid or your dog after a character until the who is over, folks! Cats? It's fine.

I disagree, as cats are longer lived than dogs; wanna give your dog a stupid name, go for it

This may or may not have anything to do with the fact that I have three cats and zero dogs

LOL, it's more that I'm less concerned finding out a cat is named after a woman who just wanted to watch the world burn, and I presume the cat would be too.
