[NYPOST] A UK mother was left "absolutely devastated" after her daughter’s passport application was denied because she was named after a popular "Game of Thrones" character.I really hate it when I get devastated.
Lucy, from South West England, told the BBC that the initial application to get her daughter, Khaleesi, 6, a passport was denied — with officials telling her she needed Warner Brothers’ approval because it owns the name’s trademark.
The poor child. Besides, it wasn't even a name. It was a title.
"I was absolutely devastated, we were so looking forward to our first holiday together," Lucy said.
Yeah. Devastation always just kinda... devastates me.
The 39-year-old mom was planning their "dream" trip to Disneyland Gay Paree when she got the bad news.
Took out a home equity line to see Mickey, huh?
"I had a letter come through from the Passport Office, saying her name is trademarked by Warner Brothers," she said. "It was the first I’ve heard of such a thing — I was astonished."
Which Warner brother has it copyrighted?
After receiving legal advice, the disappointed mom learned her daughter was allowed to use that name, and forwarded that information to the Passport Office.
It's a stupid name that'll be a plague on the poor child's life, but there aren't any laws against being a generic dumbass.
"I didn’t understand and felt frustrated. If she could get a birth certificate, would something not have been flagged up then?" she said.
Wouldn't have had that problem if she'd given her a proper name, like maybe Guillibalda, or even Herleve..
"I never thought you could trademark a name," she added.
If you can ruin a child's life why can't you trademark a name?
The Passport Office reportedly later called Lucy to apologize for the error.
"We're so sorry you're a 'tard!"
