There's A New Baby Name Trend and TBH We're Not Surprised

Since 2013, 103 baby girls in England and Wales alone have been given a name that you'll definitely recognise. 

Khaleesi.

The craze is never ending. And now children are involved whether they want to be or not. Khaleesi isn't the only Game Of Thrones related name that's hit a huge spike in popularity: 244 girls have been named Arya, nine Daenerys (opposed to Khaleesi), six Sansa, four Brienne and 18 baby boys have been named Theon, 17 Tyrion, four Bran and four Sandor.

So you could say that people are really getting into this series. Like, really.

And weirdly enough, it's not even the names that are the only thing growing in popularity because of the series. The sale of medieval-related groceries, like offal, has risen. Offal is also called variety meats or organ meats and refers to the internal organs and entrails of a butchered animal. Eugh.

Tourism to Ireland and Iceland (where some of Westerosi landscapes are filmed) has seriously boosted and there has also been an increase in the purchasing of direwolf-like Siberian Huskies!
