My new age feelgoodery mother wanted to name me Heaven Lee, but I personally want to thank my dad's ex-GF from high school, Lee, for nixing that one just by existing. Instead, I have one of the most common names for American women born in the late 80s. There were FIVE of us in my 10th grade English class of 25 students.

I would absolutely prefer a common name to being named Heaven, yikes.

Did your mom read the Heaven series? I always remember that the main character's name was Heaven Leigh, so her brother called her Heavenly.

I met a woman called "Miladi" like MyLady from Venezuela the other day. I rephrased my sentence every time I talked to her because I wanted to avoid having to say her name out loud 😅

I knew someone from Central America at school named "Leidi Paola" so basically Lady Paola lol

[ginainabottle]

that sounds very brazilian too, I know a Milady (it's pronounced Me-lady) and a few Maicons (Michaels) lol

Khaleesi? I bet there are people who name their children after LOTR and ASOIAF characters and it wouldn't be the first time for the passport office.

I have a cousin who named her daughter Arya, but that has been a given name long before GRRM ever wrote his books, so. (Also I don't know if my cousin is an ASOIAF fan.)
