I didn't even know that one; most of my lore absorption was from involuntary osmosis from Gamboheads around me for years and media oversaturation in publications and online. I guess between those two silly names all I can say is
Yeah, he's the self-insert neckbeard not-Samwise-Gamgee character's little brother. I'm surprised that they didn't change his name in the show to something more American-friendly, like Pennis.
...which is exactly what they did with Hodor. His real name in the books is Walder, but in the show it's "Wylis" so that burgerbrains wouldn't get confused and think he was David Bradley's character, I guess.
In the books it's less directly SA yet still (CW: SA anyway, kiddie creeper shit)
spoiler
statutory rape as far as I understand it, complete with narrative emphasis on a child's sexual characteristics and how "full mast" her assailant was.
I sometimes hear about how much better the books were than the show, but it still seems, to me, just a variation difference between what particular creepy shit was sensationalistically emphasized for entertainment purposes between each.
That was the dragon's name? Good gravy, Strong Bad named dragons better.
I hate to uhm actually but Drogon is named after Daenerys's late husband Khal Drogo. It's unfortunately not a naming your dog Doggy situation
The SV enjoyer in the show version, right?
That's still about the silliest fantasy fiction name I've heard since Panis Rhal.
Karl Dodo
Sillier than Dickon Tarly?

It was named after her late husband/SA abuser Khal Drogo
Someone else mentioned that and now I know, yeah.
