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
That is definitely why they apologized for it. Because they royally fucked up.
