EXU Names Being Worse Than Vex & Vax

[@BriannaZumbro]

I also make dice! starlightdice.etsy.com

[@romxxii]

3:00 "I suffered Vex and Vax for 6 years" -- Matt Mercer, unaware that he's about to suffer through Laura/Laudna

[@Moosetapheles]

And then Fyra came along and completed the FFOODD circle.

[@CherryBlossomGirl206]

That should have been their group name 😂

[@Starryflame]

oh... my...god... I never even REALISED it was FFOODD XD Opal's shouting predicted it That could have been their name XD

[@VI_VA.]

Fy'ra also came so Fearne could match her name with somebody xD

[@XDeedge]

ok but counter argument: ddooff troupe

[@celesteelka]

The FFOODD Pyramid, if you will

[@cultofdi0nysus]

i love Matt's "How's that feel VAX'ILDAN" at 1:40 lmaoo he understands the pain more than anyone else

[@theunwelcome]

the aggression in how he said it, too, just love it

[@lilysong1321]

Then the “I suffered Vax and Vex for SIX years.”

[@aronnemcsik]

Liam: "Curse you for your names" Mat:-that's bold coming from you Vax...

[@amethystimagination3332]

Literally, it took me so long to be able to pronounce Vax’ildan despite hearing it multiple times

[@leonjakobsen272]

Ah yes, my favourite team: Doriax Opym And farm

[@lottadum1451]

I was fine with Doriax and Opym, but somehow farm had me almost spit out my food

[@thatsmuggamer]

fy’rn

[@Sammie1053]

This was an important lesson for Matt going into C3 when Tal tried to name his character Prescott Jrass

[@mursuka80]

I don`t get it. What is wrong with that name?

[@EightThreeEight]

​@@mursuka80 "Prescott Jrass" sounds like "Fresh Cut Grass".

[@PaulGuy]

This reminds me of how in The Legend of Vox Machina, Scanlan's intro song has Vex and Vax clarifying who the other one is, not who they are themselves, which keeps it confusing.

[@kuroneko1813]

I have been wanting to get the Vax and Vex shirts Laura and Liam wore in one of the sessions. I fucking love it Coincidentally, I keep naming my own characters with the same first letter. So all my DMs, which is half our friend group, keep getting confused which character of mine is in their campaigns lmao

[@romxxii]

LOL Opal messing up Dariax and Dorian, saying "FUCK!" then Aabria replying "yes, they did that!"

[@texposeidon1256]

I just imagine Vex and Percy naming their children with the same first letters, whether they’re twins or not.

[@alhemičarka]

That's a common naming scheme though, especially for different gender siblings

[@Beacuzz]

I knew someone who all 5 of her and har sister's started with S S names all sound the same!!!!!!!

[@jadaw644]

​@@Beacuzz I love that alliteration. 😂

[@hhylobates4098]

Surpirised no one ever got caught with Aabria, Aimee, Anjali and Ashley

[@SingingSealRiana]

all sound very differently

[@Verylengthyapple]

aabria sounds way different tho since the stress is on the second syllable.

[@kingskelett6265]

I know that pain of having two characters picking similar names to eachother without even planning it. That was a rough campaign start, having to make sure not to confuse those two names all the time (though I think I can manage it now). It is both frustating but also really hilarious.

[@stevenhurst4236]

I'm currently in a game with a Cassandra and a Kelasandra. I seriously feel your pain.

[@ultrabigfella]

In my first campaign I had a Dundee, Daelor, and Dagon. Alligatorfolk Homebrew Race, Tabaxi, and Mountain Dwarf. They were basically the three amigos.

[@Nike-gs8ig]

In one campaign we had Isabella, Ardella and Fabella. We confused ourselves.

[@EightThreeEight]

When I got my family to make D&D characters, all of them had different methods of naming their characters. One looked up a good classical name from history, one used an online fantasy name generator, one just copied a name from the front of a book, and one just wrote down their favourite food backwards.

[@dracowolf3212]

Little did Matt know was he too was gonna suffer from the names Laura and Laudna

[@MonkeyE00]

In a campaign I am in, there are twin sisters named Evalinn and Evalyn. They go by Eva and Lyn respectfully lol. I default to calling them the sisters or twins.

[@13vatra]

Oh that's just evil.... I kind of love it...

[@feyefall4855]

I hope at least one of them is a bard so they can sing Evalyn Evalyn

[@malus-pumila_3.142]

love to see the ffoodd gang (including fyra)

[@johnpixie]

Opal screeming: FOOOOOD!

[@grantsvoiceongames1992]

@@johnpixie yesssss!!! ✨

[@AshnakAGQ]

I had two players playing gnomes in my game. One was named Biddle and the other is named Gimble. Biddle left the campaign two years ago and I still call Gimble Biddle sometimes.

[@grantsvoiceongames1992]

Call them Double D’s? Nah, DnD!

[@brandonedwright]

My character I'm playing right now is named Damon and every single player has called him Damien at least once, and the DM has already done it so many times xD

[@LianLore]

I had a character named Damon too! Same issue 😅

[@repulser93]

0:43 - Is it weird that I hear “Double-Ds” and think of Ed, Edd n Eddy first?

[@johnkeith8619]

Na just means you got great taste

[@NWolfsson]

They didn't come to Byroden by accident. It was fate. Fate, and comedic coincidences. (I swear, there's a magnet that catches people that weren't born here and have same first letter first names!)

[@NWolfsson]

Come to think of it, I have only people with k-sounds at the beginning of their names (well, the ladies. The one guy has the k sound at the END of his name) in my Dragon Age gang... I think Imma just make Byroden pop in Thedas at this point.

[@districtofcrystal]

And now in Campaign 3 it's Laudna and Laura 🤣

[@13vatra]

And Ashton and Ashley, though I don't think anyone has messed that up yet.

[@romxxii]

@@13vatra not really, because Fearne is her own beast entirely, it's really hard to think of her as Ashley when she's in full Fearne mode.

[@VI_VA.]

The edits make it even better! XD

[@a-shanda-productions]

Dorian and Dariax, big D and little D

[@romxxii]

Dd? or dD?

[@estoy1001]

Vex & Vax- They Min & Max Dorian & Dariax- They glory in their many acts. Mike & Ike- They Think Alike.

[@hallowedrook1781]

Was it mike or Ike that ended up in the hospital?

[@wieselhd6260]

I feel that. I once named my aarakocra monk Zephir and another player had a water genasi monk named Saphire. Horrible and brilliant.

[@JellyBearsz]

This is my new favorite video ever

[@kspayton]

seeing matt as a player is awesome. i bet he is having so much fun predicting and ruining DM plans XD

[@cryspy2248]

2:16 matt punching the air has me dying

[@lionheart1259]

Food!

[@diarya5573]

I love Matt's tip of capital and lowercase. Good stuff

[@MaelstromTranquil]

And yet nobody is questioning that all the female players & DM's real names all begin with A. Aimee, Ashley, Anjali, Aabria.

[@ArkStClair]

Barbose and ooleg they dont sound the same but my dyslexic ass swaps them every bloody game barbose is dead and I still call ooleg barbose

[@krzysztofkaruzo6899]

you have dorian and deriax opal and orym and the fearne with herselfs because she plays faun

[@TheHunter_2525]

Given the number of times Aabria says "hate," I get the feeling these five were a couple of bad decisions away from a D&D interpretation of IHNMBIMS.

[@annaptakova3242]

Liam has no right to complain, lol.

[@MrYoyojuan]

D1 and D2

[@blazypika2]

i really don't see the issue. doriax and darion are not that hard to distinguish between.

[@mimipeahes5848]

Probably harder when you’re live streaming, roleplaying, doing math, thinking over your turn or pretty much anything that’s not just reading them in isolation.

[@jeanbartoly]

I've just called them DARIAX and DORIAN I understand them
