Poll: Game of Thrones' Daenerys Targaryen — The Legend, The Myth, The Nicknames

In the "Game of Thrones" TV series, Daenerys Targaryen the First of Her Name, Khaleesi of Great Grass Sea, Princess of Dragonstone, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, and Protector of the Seven Kingdoms made full use of her "official" titles. But, she embraced her "unofficial" names as well, realizing that they could be far more powerful than her royal ones. Each of them had the potential to create a deeper bond with smallfolk and nobles alike and served to elevate Daenerys above a run-of-the-mill aspiring Seven Kingdoms ruler to one of historical, legendary and mythical stature.

Which discussed or depicted alias for the character with the given birth name, Daenerys Targaryen from the "Game of Thrones" TV series best suits her as an endearing nickname, a mythical moniker or a prophetic promise? SPOILER ALERT: Intended for viewers current through the 2019 season, as poll reveals a depicted or discussed Game of Thrones (2011) series ruler, claimant or aspirant through end of calendar 2019.
