#Ventus was another fun one hence why he got that specific tier

So I was rewatching ColeyDoesThings video on fandom baby names, and I felt inspired to compile a list of all the names for the KH original cast from regular baby name to fandom baby name. Enjoy!

Regular Names: Axel, Aqua, Terra*, Dilan, Even, Ava, Ira

Regular Names But Japanese (Mostly): Sora, Riku, Kairi

Actual Surname/Last Name: Pence, Gula**

Could Be Mistaken As A Unique Spelling/Pronunciation Of A Regular Name: Lea, Isa

Floral Baby Name: Strelitzia

Mythology Baby: Skuld, Sigurd, Odin, Bragi, Vor, Urd, Hermod, Baldr, Hoder, Vidar, Vala, Vali, Heimdall, Helgi, Sigrun, Remus, Nept***, Freya

Could Be Identified As A Fandom, Mythology, Or A Brand (Specifically Golf Clubs And Watches, I Shit You Not) Baby Name: Ventus

Fandom Baby Name That Could Be Mistaken For An Acronym: Aced

Fandom Baby Name That Could Pass As A Regular Name If You Pass It Off As A Rearranged Regular Name: Ienzo****, Elrena****

Supposedly An Actual Name, But Otherwise Fandom Baby Name: Hayner, Olette

Could Be Mistaken As A Different Fandom Baby Name: Xion, Vanitas, Brain

Straight-Up Fandom Baby Name: Ansem, Riku Replica/Repliku, Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Saix, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, Larxene, Roxas, Xehanort, Eraqus, Braig, Aeleus, Naminé, Ephemer, Luxu, Master of Masters/MoM, Yozora

*in Terra's case, it really is a regular name, but will become a fandom baby name if used for a boy

**Gula is the name for a Mesopotamian goddess and also an actual surname/last name, so that's fun learning about

***Nept's name seems to be a shortened version of Neptune, so I'm counting his name here

****are in fact anagrams of actual names (Enzio and Relena/Arlene, respectively), although I found an actual person with the name Elrena, so IDK on the latter 🤷‍♀️
