Names from Critical Role, Which are usable?

So I’m very into the online web series Critical Role “where a bunch of nerdy ass voice actors sit around and play Dungeons & Dragons”. I love some of the names from the various campaigns and wondered what others thought on their usability:

Campaign 1 - Vox Machina

Vax’ildan (M, half elf rogue) nn Vax, twin of Vex’ahlia
Vex’ahlia (F, half elf ranger) nn Vex, twin of Vax’ildan
Grog (M, goliath barbarian)
Scanlan (M, gnome bard)
[name_m]Percival[/name_m] (M, human gunslinger) nn [name_u]Percy[/name_u]
Keyleth (F, half elf druid)
[name_m]Pike[/name_m] (F, gnome cleric)
[name_m]Tiberius[/name_m] (M, dragonborn sorceror)
Taryon (M, human artificer)

Campaign 2 - Mighty Nein

[name_m]Caleb[/name_m] (M, human wizard)
[name_m]Beauregard[/name_m] (F, human monk)
[name_f]Fjord[/name_f] (M, half orc warlock/paladin) pronounced “ford”
Jester (F, tiefling cleric)
Mollymauk (M, tiefling blood hunter)
[name_m]Yasha[/name_m] (F, aasimar barbarian)
Nott (F, goblin rogue)
Caduceus (M, firbolg cleric)

NPCs/guests both campaigns

[name_f]Allura[/name_f] (F)
[name_u]Kima[/name_u] (F)
Pumat (M)
[name_f]Orly[/name_f] (M)
Essek (M)
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] (F)
[name_m]Sylas[/name_m] (M)
Kashaw (M)
[name_f]Zara[/name_f] (F)
[name_f]Lillith[/name_f] (F)
Reani (F)
Shakaste (M)

I personally love Keyleth, Vax’ildan, [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_m]Percival[/name_m], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] & [name_f]Fjord[/name_f]. Are any other these particularly usable?

I think Keyleth, [name_m]Beauregard[/name_m], [name_f]Fjord[/name_f] (prefer pronounced FYORD), Caduceus (this one’s great!), [name_f]Allura[/name_f], [name_m]Sylas[/name_m] (prefer [name_m]Silas[/name_m]), [name_f]Zara[/name_f] & [name_f]Lillith[/name_f] are all pretty cool, and usable.

Although I’m not as keen on them myself, I’d class [name_m]Percival[/name_m] ‘[name_u]Percy[/name_u]’, [name_m]Pike[/name_m], [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_m]Yasha[/name_m], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] & Reani (I like the sound of this, but not the look of it so much) as usable too.

[name_m]Percival[/name_m]"[name_u]Percy[/name_u]", [name_f]Fjord[/name_f], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] are all usable in my opinion!

in my opinion ::

vax’ildan - guilty pleasure
vex’ahlia - guilty pleasure
grog - guilty pleasure
scanlan - guilty pleasure
percival - useable
keyleth - brave, but useable
pike - brave, but useable
tiberius - brave, but useable
taryon - brave, but useable

caleb - useable
beauregard - brave, but useable
fjord - useable, but i prefer the pronounciation “fyord”
jester - useable
mollymauk - guilty pleasure
yasha - useable
nott - guilty pleasure
caduceus - brave, but useable

allura - useable
kima - useable
pumat - brave, but useable
orly - guilty pleasure on a male
essek - brave, but useable
delilah - useable
sylas - useable
kashaw - brave, but useable
zara - useable
lilith - brave, but useable
reani - brave, but useable
shakaste - guilty pleasure

but others might feel differently! :slight_smile:

[name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f], [name_f]Lillith[/name_f] and [name_m]Sylas[/name_m] strike me as the most mainstream/usable. I also like [name_f]Allura[/name_f], [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m], Taryon (this one is really cool!) and Reani.

Vax’ildan, Vex’ahlia, Jester, Mollymauk, Caduceus and Nott strike me as the least usable.

I think [name_m]Percival[/name_m] (& nn [name_u]Percy[/name_u]), [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_f]Fjord[/name_f], [name_m]Yasha[/name_m], [name_u]Kima[/name_u], Essek, [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_m]Sylas[/name_m], [name_f]Zara[/name_f], [name_f]Lillith[/name_f] are all very usable. I find Scanlan, Keyleth, [name_m]Pike[/name_m], [name_m]Tiberius[/name_m], Taryon, [name_m]Beauregard[/name_m], Caduceus, and Reani to be braver choices, but still possible.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] Jester as a pet name.

There’s also [name_m]Gilmore[/name_m] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] (which is Jester’s actual name) so I guess you could also have [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] or [name_f]Jenny[/name_f]?
