Creation and Usage Notes

I've always loved this name. George R. R. Martin created a lot of great names in his Song of Ice and Fire series, but Daenerys is the best of the bunch. It's bizarre that Khaleesi—a title, not a name—is a popular name in the real world, but Daenerys isn't. Of course, the English pronunciation has penultimate stress unlike the antepenultimate stress of the Valyrian, but that'll happen. I had a choice: Switch the stress, or spell Daenerys with a long ē after the n. I went with the former rather than the latter.
