    the initial application to get her daughter, Khaleesi, 6, a passport was denied — with officials telling her she needed Warner Brothers’ approval because it owns the name’s trademark.

    This is a lot dumber than I thought. Yes, Khaleesi is a stupid name but it is their official name on government papers. They’re seriously telling her “your daughter can’t use her legal name without permission from Warner Brothers”?

      If you bothered to read the rest of the article, you’d know they made a mistake, and later apologised for it.

        They still said it. Someone was dumb enough to tell her that in the first place even if it was later corrected.

        I don’t know, this level of not knowing what your job is kinda goes past oops sorry.
