Bad news for anyone named Jessica.

My job entails handling certain things for the recently deceased. I processed a Khaleesi yesterday and my dumbass assumed it was a name that meant something for some culture or another, but immediately recognized the name for Daenerys as well.

Having looked, it's totally made up, but it's super badass, if I were to ever have kids, which I won't, cause fuck that, I'd be open to that being my daughter's name. It sounds real cool.

Sounds like a really stupid person at the passport place that thinks their smart. Pretty typical.
