Many real-life babies now have name corresponding to 'Game of Thrones' character names, including names such as Khaleesi and Arya.

Khaleesi - a royal title that was made-up for Emilia Clarke's character Daenerys by author George RR Martin whose books the show is based on - is now the name of 146 babies, the Mirror reported.

The name Arya, the name of a tomboy character played by Maisie Williams, more than doubled to 131 in 2012 from 57 a year.

Baby name expert Laura Wattenberg said that plenty of authors dating back to Shakespeare had invented names that caught on with parents.
