Yeah, I did read about a 87 times before, can you please just say 'the child' or 'the kid' or 'the future khal'?
New families are introduced in the latter books that are even more tedious to read about.

Sometimes the author goes on a name-ranting rampage and you get to know the names of every ship and half the crew. Most horses get names (even if they're marginally important), none of these things brings the story forward but adds to the complexity.
