Ok, folks, Daenerys didn't get her name as an "apology" to Dorne (as well as Viserys getting engaged to Arianne). She doesn't "owe" them nor is she seen as someone who owes them, but as family - sealed as such by tragedy even as they have no recent blood relatives to share.
Rather, by the time Dany is born, Targaryens and Martells (having been allies before, with Aerys as a sore spot and all) they are united further in the greatest grief (the killing of shared related little children) done onto them by a third party (Lannisters/Rebels). This one act that wouldn't be justified in any situation or world and will never not be condemned by the narrative sets them aside from the others and together, sharing an understanding of a tragedy that is theirs to bear in between them alone.
Fandom keeps trying to set them apart from the other, make up antagonism that is supposedly already there or that needs nothing much to be there in the future; they try to associate Martells with the Rebels and against Targaryens as victims of some centralised guilt in spite of it literally being the other way around.
Those children were killed, and it doesn't matter who did it and who is secretly sorry or not. It matters that the Rebels shook Tywin's hand and thanked him, and whatever Targaryen guilt is there in the entire affair, in this they are victims as much as Dorne, the Rebels alienating themselves from them as an united front in the one situation in which they are the unquestionable villains to both.
Your daily reminder that Dorne and Targaryens are not opposing factions, that their relationship is defined by their first union onwards, not by their very old initial antagonism back in the days of old hundreds of years before, that Rhaenys and Aegon were also Targaryens, and that both Houses were victims of the Rebels & co in the murders of Elia and the kids.
They were family. They've been family for a long time. Arianne calls them family in present time. Doran does not believe in a pipe dream fake!Aegon being sold to him by interesting parties trying to take advantage of his grief, but he believes in Daenerys.
House Martell/Dorne are not your convenient anti-Targaryen mouthpieces.
