Tquinn BC Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Yeah, I have also noticed that name.What about the change from "SOIAF" to simply a "GOT" even when just referring to the books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nami Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I call her Dany, not her damn titlenot to mention it would have to be:Daenerys Targaryen, First of Her Name, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, called Daenerys Stormborn, The Unburnt, Mother of Dragons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nami Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Only in season one really, past that its almost always Daenerys. She even name drops herself to others a few times "I am Daenerys Stormborn!" once with subtitles even.I find that there's no excuse by now for watchers to think her name is Khaleesi or to just call her that.http://farm9.staticf...34f4a891f_z.jpgYeah, I have also noticed that name.What about the change from "SOIAF" to simply a "GOT" even when just referring to the books?this one in particular pisses me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindchap Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 And there is always Drogo's pronunciation Dan Ares. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Ashes Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Yup, have a friend who's watched all three seasons think Dany's name is Khaleesi.Oh, and keeps referring to Tyrion as "Half-man." I thought about correcting her but a wave of indifference washed over me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcotron Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Oh, and keeps referring to Tyrion as "Half-man."That one's OK as long as they sing the theme song.Na-na na-na na-na na-na, na-na na-na na-na na-na, Half-man!With Penny, the Girl Wonder.

Knight of Ashes Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 More in the vein of "Taxman" would be more apropriate since Tyrion is Master of Coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcotron Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Or Kool Keith's "Half-Shark-Alligator Half-Man". If those lyrics don't describe Tyrion, I don't know what does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danm_999 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Internally she refers to herself as 'Dany' so I do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stark Thenextwolf Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I dont have many friends who are into asoiaf (books or show, one other reader two or three show watchers). One of the show watchers calls her khaleesi and it made me so mad I was like dude thats not here name. he got a weird look and was like wait really....HATE IT SO MUCH. But i guess on the other hand I have gotten in trouble for calling her bad names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus_Invictus Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Everyone always forgets Princess of Dragonstone. After all, for most of her life she considered Viserys to be the rightful king and as his only living relative she was, by default, his heir and therefore Princess of Dragonstone. After his death she would have retained the title due to having no known relatives to be her heir. Which makes me want her to encounter Aegon and have them both make a point of referring to the other as Prince/ss to drive home the fact that neither considers the other rightful.

Castellan Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I might use that respectful term of address if I met her but I think of and refer to her as Dany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Winters Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I think show watchers call her Khaleesi because Ser Jorah calls her that every time and there are show fans who are naming their baby girls "Khaleesi". So they probably forgot her real name is Daenerys.I've never actually seen a book reader call her Khaleesi and not Dany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twenty of House Goodmen Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 It wouldn't bother me if they atleast knew that her real name is Daenerys, but based on Facebook and twitter comments, it seems a lot of show watchers are convinced that Khaleesi is her name.

Vicious Fire Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Every show watcher I know calls her Khaleesi. I call her Dany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamieo Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I call her Daenerys, I think it's a beautiful name. I've noticed that those who only watch the show mostly refer to her as Khaleesi. My friend who'd just started the show was confused when I asked him if Daenerys was hot, he was like "who?". He refers to her as Khaleesi or Silver Queen now, lol.

The Young Black Dragon Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Of the many, many, many things the show and the unsullied upset me about, the change from aSoIaF to GoT and Khaleesi.Like, why do the unsullied latch on to Khaleesi so much? What do they think is so fantastic about being the head of some vicious Khalasar. I feel like if they maybe would have picked up a book they wouldn't think the Dothraki in such a romanticized fashion.GoT fans get out of here, they bug me to no extent. Especially when I tell them how the books are much more important adn I tell them to read them. They always respond with how close the show is to the book, so they don't need to. :bang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
