Many "Game of Thrones" characters were given medieval-sounding nicknames by George R.R. Martin. Jaime Lannister is known as "Kingslayer" while Tyrion is derisively called "The Imp." Some historical figures have titles like "Ser Duncan the Tall" or "Bran the Builder."
But fans of the series have taken it upon themselves to dub other characters with a little more pizzazz.
The many languages of Westeros are tough to understand phonetically, and with a long list of side characters — many of whom are promptly killed off — it's tough to keep track. That's where these easy-to-remember titles come in.

Daenerys Targaryen = Kelly C
Daenerys Targaryen is better known on the show by her formal title: Khaleesi. In Dothraki, "khaleesi" means queen, so most of the time anyone is speaking to Daenerys, they refer to her as "Khaleesi." This is an unfamiliar term, so many first-time watchers think "Khaleesi" is simply her name. Others have resorted to just calling her "Kelly C" online. Close enough.
Khal Drogo = Karl Drogo
Kelly C's husband in season one wasn't Khal Drogo, it was Karl Drogo. Everyone knows this. The slight misspelling of "Khal" makes this fierce warrior a little more relatable. It may have started as a pun on a character named Carl from the Adult Swim "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" cartoon. But the fandom has kept it going. Long live Karl Drogo.
Stannis Baratheon = Stannis the Mannis
Stannis Baratheon was a favorite contender for the Iron Throne. Among many Redditors, he was the true hero in their eyes. Over time, his name began cropping up as "Stannis the Mannis"— a play on the popular nickname "Stan the Man." Every once and awhile, you'll see him referred to simply as "The Mannis."
