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.
