A UK mother, Lucy, was devastated when her daughter Khaleesi’s passport application was initially denied because her name, inspired by a “Game of Thrones” character, was thought to be trademarked by Warner Brothers. Lucy was informed that she needed Warner Brothers’ approval to use the name. After legal advice clarified that the name could be used, and after Lucy publicly shared her experience on social media, the Passport Office apologized and agreed to process the passport. Lucy is now waiting for the passport before booking a new trip to Disneyland Paris and hopes her story helps others facing similar issues.
