A woman was left "devastated" after her daughter's passport application was rejected because she was named after a Game of Thrones character.

Lucy, 39, from Swindon in Wiltshire, said the Passport Office initially refused the application for Khaleesi, six.

Officials said they were unable to issue a passport unless Warner Brothers gave permission because it owned the name's trademark. But the authority has since apologised for the error.

Poor kid gonna grow up and watch the show where she was named after right before the final season.

First season is heavy enough isn't it? Life lessons:

get abused by your family
get burned
get fucked

Well I think the lesson is that after all the hardship she still fights her way to the top. That is at least inspiring. Then the last season happened.
