Working at an animal shelter where calici virus is mentioned often, it makes me cringe that people are naming kids Khaleesi. Calici (pronounced the same) is a herpes virus in cats. We use a lot of pop culture names for the cats and you can bet we will never use Khaleesi! Katniss has been used (as have other Hunger Games names).

As for as for people, I think Katniss isn't that out there to use, and the NN Kat is fairly common.
