    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

Direwolves? No

Also, "Khaleesi" isn't even the name of a character in GoT. The character's name was Daenerys Targaryan. That's always annoyed me. "Khaleesi" is a title. It'd be like naming your child Queen.

That too. It was part of my rant to my wife about it but I forgot to add it to my written one!
 
Actually given the social structure of the Dothraki, the more accurate translation would probably be "woman owned by the warlord for the purposes of having sex and giving birth to sons".
 
BTW, the name "Khaleesi" has become somewhat popular as a name for girls in America. I've never met a Khaleesi myself, and probably most of them are still young children. Probably the oldest of them would have been born in 2012 or so, or 13 years old at most. Its popularity peaked in 2018 (at the 550th most popular name for girls, so not super popular even at its peak) and now seems to be in decline.

Interesting that none of the examples of it being a given name are British, I don't think I've ever known anyone named 'Queen' as a christian name here. Of course "Queenie" is an almost stereotypical "Cockney" name, albeit very old fashioned now.

That's a lot of extra words, when you could just say "queen".
