Vox reports Before Game of Thrones, no one named babies "Khaleesi." In 2012, it beat the name "Betsy."
"According to data from the Social Security Administration, were 21 newborns in 2012 named 'Daenerys,' which was never used enough in previous years to show up in official counts (for privacy reasons, the SSA only releases numbers for names used five or more times in a given year).
But wee baby Daeneryses were dramatically outnumbered by newborns named 'Khaleesi' — the title Targaryen earned when she married Dothraki leader (or 'Khal') Drogo. 146 'Khaleesi's were born in 2012, making it more popular as a full name than 'Betsy' or 'Nadine':"
