Khaleesi is a nice name aside from the fact that I think it's a title...

Khaleesi is a title, not a name. In the fictional world of "Game of Thrones," it means "queen" in the Dothraki language and is given to the wife of a Khal, the leader of a Dothraki tribe. The character Daenerys Targaryen is often referred to as Khaleesi. - chat gpt

Ya... It's a title.

I've had students named Happy, Classic, Diamonds, Epiphany, Scorpio, you name it. I wouldn't even cock my head to the side with a Khaleesi on my roll sheet at this point.

There are literally people named "Princess". Not that I think that does wonders for their life either.
