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.
This doesn’t make any sense. The colour brown is a trademark of UPS, yet I’ve known people with the last name Brown who were able to get passports.
that’s probably why they apologize for it
