Not only in America.
I loved GOT, I think Daenerys is a beautiful name, but still, there's something about parents naming their kids after movie characters. In my youth, Kevin's started to pop up everywhere (yep, that's how old I am). They weren't suicidal but behaved incredibly badly so you could constantly hear their mothers screeching after them.
Daenerys was the chatbot, not the kid.
I wish I could remember who it was that said that kids' names tend to reflect "the father's family tree, or the mother's taste in fiction," though. (My parents were of the father's-family-tree persuasion.)
Thanks for clarifying!
