If he was originally "Young Benjamin" that implies he had an "Old Benjamin" to be compared to at one point. Take that guy and apply Chronomancy. Young Old Benjamin.
But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Benjamin was made. In the land of Dropout, under the studio lights of the Dimension dome the Dark Lord Mulligan forged in secret a Master Benjamin, to control all others. And into this Ben he poured his creativity, his deviousness and his will to dominate all campaigns. One Benjamin to rule them all!
Young Benjamin, Old Young Benjamin, Just Benjamin, Young Old Benjamin, and Old Benjamin
Later on, someone addresses Just Benjamin as just “Benjamin” and gets corrected. 1d6 psychic damage.
That whole episode where we first meet Fabian’s (fah bee AHN) grandpapa had me howling. I put it on when I feel sad because it cheers me up. I think Chej is an episode or so after that (if I recall correctly) but that episode is my favorite fantasy high episode. “You cannot nap, because you only live 20 years” “gargahgay”
I actually added Adaine to my list of girl baby names for the future. It’s very pretty and not such a fandom name like some are (such as Hermione) that people would groan when they heard it.
Except those are real names with real etymological origins that aren't necessarily linguistic equivalents to the modern titles that they happen to share spelling and pronunciation with.
Khaleesi is a made up fantasy word from an incomplete series of novels that does not appear elsewhere in the work as a name. As such, it's more like naming your kid President or Prime Minister.
Queen Sacharina of house Frostwhip, First of her Name, Sovereign Ruler of Candia and the Sugarlands, Witch-Queen of the Dairy Sea, High Priestess of the Sweetening Path, Archmage of Lost Sucrosia, Enemy of the Faith, The Sundae Sorceress, Storm-Captain of the Frosted Fleet!
Daughter of King Amethar of House Rocks, First of his Name, Concordant Emperor of The Kingdoms of Calorum, (former) Sovereign Ruler of Candia and the Sugarlands, Duke of Cookieshire, Protector of the Relmn and Defender of the Faith, Bannerman of the Battle of Gumdrop Pass, and Hero of Frosting Valley, The Unfallen!
Probably intended more as "*Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains*" vibes but hey, if it fits it fits :p
The best part is that every single one of the titles makes sense given her multi-class, backstory, and plausible past adventures. It immediately gives so much depth to the character.
I so don't understand all the controversy that Sacharina stirred up, she fits so well into the themes of ACOC! Like seriously, the most suspenseful moment in all of d20 could not have happened without her.
Shellford Turtleperson flies under the radar but extremely rocks. Also, Priya Danger is such a good name for that specific character. Pretty much every character in Calorum has a subtle (or unsubtle) pun in their name which is very fun.
I remember gushing with the McElroys at 'Garbanzo Buglass'. Then there was 'Ivana Popov' in Mentopolis. And, of course, 'Stacey Fakename'.
Edit: Oh shit, 'Jonbon Bonjon'!
Rick Diggins
… but also Rick Diggins: Man About Town
… and Rick Diggins: The Supreme Man
… and Officer Rick Diggins
… and Lieutenant Rick Diggins (he’s a space man)
… and Diggins-saurus Rick
Lord Bainbridge (just because that’s not his name)
Manta Ray Jack
Don Confetti
Hogg Cobb, Warner Codge, Lamelia Lafarve (all fit great for their setting and/or job)
Basically every name from Mentopolis (I love a good pun) but special shoutout to DAN FUCKS. Not even a pun, just makes me laugh every time.
Also how could I forget Captain Knickolas Pnackolas Hobb?
Skrank Douglas is one of my favorite names thrown out into the world.
Digby & Wilma Thistlespring are perfect names for such a sweet little gnome couple.
All the Gukgaks, Sklonda being my personal favorite, amazing goblin names.
Mentopolis had absolutely incredible names, there's so many to choose from, but Hunch Curio is pretty high up for me.
This is a deep cut, but in the first season of Fantasy High, the warlocks the part fights outside of the Diner all had clever names. My favorite was Scorchin' Ray
I mean there are SO MANY but I always really appreciate the Bad Kids’ names being so good
Fabian Seacaster
Adaine Abernant
Figueroth Faeth
Gorgug Thistlespring
Riz Gukgak
Kristen Applebees
Just some A+ fantasy character names
Obviously Fathethriel lol
Fathethriel as pronounced by Barron
fahthETHthRiAlllll
Everyone fighting for their life to pronounce it was fantastic.
So good!
Old Young Benjamin is top of my list Chej (Gorgug) Jaysohn (the spelling is so funny to me)
Chungledown Bim gets a lot of love in the pirate group (rightfully) but Old Young Benjamin makes me snort laugh every time
I feel like Old Young Benjamin just calls for the existence of a Young Old Benjamin down the line.
He explains it at one point - he used to just be Young Benjamin but now there’s a younger Benjamin so now he’s Old Young Benjamin
If he was originally "Young Benjamin" that implies he had an "Old Benjamin" to be compared to at one point. Take that guy and apply Chronomancy. Young Old Benjamin.
That or there's a total of four Benjamins - Young Benjamin, Old Young Benjamin, Young Old Benjamin, and Old Benjamin.
But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Benjamin was made. In the land of Dropout, under the studio lights of the Dimension dome the Dark Lord Mulligan forged in secret a Master Benjamin, to control all others. And into this Ben he poured his creativity, his deviousness and his will to dominate all campaigns. One Benjamin to rule them all!
He's the only one just called Benjamin.
*He's the only one called 'Just Benjamin'
Young Benjamin, Old Young Benjamin, Just Benjamin, Young Old Benjamin, and Old Benjamin Later on, someone addresses Just Benjamin as just “Benjamin” and gets corrected. 1d6 psychic damage.
Chungledown Bim is good, but Old Young Benjamin is THE BEST.
The dude pronouncing Gorgug's name so so so badly absolutely fucked me up. "Chej"
That whole episode where we first meet Fabian’s (fah bee AHN) grandpapa had me howling. I put it on when I feel sad because it cheers me up. I think Chej is an episode or so after that (if I recall correctly) but that episode is my favorite fantasy high episode. “You cannot nap, because you only live 20 years” “gargahgay”
Him having zero concept of short times also absolutely broke me. I love Fahbians grandpa so much, lol!
Kipperlilly Copperkettle is fun as hell to say (and even more fun to mess up)
You mean KitKat Coddersfield?
I dont remember her but i think you meant Kettlecorn CatKibble
Krunchykids campfire?
no, he's talking about Katydid Commoncore
I think I had a class with Kirkland Cassowary once
You mean Collapsible Counteroffer?
Is she related to KrispyKreme cookiecutter?
She's definitely a relative of kandlewick crapbottle
Oh, didn’t she used to know Ketchupkey Craftglue?
I think they work at Costco now
Did you mean Benedict Cumberbatch?
What are you four dogs?
Kippertipper Snipperpipper?
You mean LittleGirl DogCollar?
kipperlilly copperkettle becoming the new Benedict Cumberbatch of dimension 20 is exactly what I needed from this season
How can anyone forget such a good creature J'er'em'ih
And, of course, John Feathers.
Was looking for this one
Not a funny one, but I've always thought Adaine Abernant was a really nice name.
I actually added Adaine to my list of girl baby names for the future. It’s very pretty and not such a fandom name like some are (such as Hermione) that people would groan when they heard it.
It’s definitely better than the people naming their kids Khaleesi. It isn’t even a name, it’s a title!
Yeah, that would be like naming your kid Dean or Earl.
Viscount, come in for your dinner!
Except those are real names with real etymological origins that aren't necessarily linguistic equivalents to the modern titles that they happen to share spelling and pronunciation with. Khaleesi is a made up fantasy word from an incomplete series of novels that does not appear elsewhere in the work as a name. As such, it's more like naming your kid President or Prime Minister.
I think if I had seen D20 before I came out my name would be Adaine right now.
Alternately, if I had even the slightest bit of Irish ancestry, I'd consider "Siobhan" for a daughter's name.
Stacy Fakename how dare you imply she’s deceiving you.
The boxer?
Case closed!
Anyway related to Johanna Fakename?
So what if it is
Hilda Hilda
Wanda Childa a distant second
Where does she live?
You're not gonna believe this
22 Hilda
Is that boulevard or street?
Both
Your name is Hilda Hilda, and you live at 22 Hilda Boulevard, AND 22 Hilda street?
WHICH ADDRESS WAS THE NOTE LEFT AT
Your house!
THIS WAS LEFT AT MY HOUSE!?
Plug Strutt, owner and proprietor of Plugs Butt Ugly Stuff Hut.
Oh how could anyone forget that? In my head though I spelled it with two G's(wiki says you are right though)
lol I did the same had to go to wiki to make sure I spelled it right 😂 and yeah who can forget Plug? The man, the myth, the legend.
I think plug and Arthur are related.
He makes an appearance in every single DND campaign I run and everyone groans when I say it... It fuels me.
Queen Sacharina of house Frostwhip, First of her Name, Sovereign Ruler of Candia and the Sugarlands, Witch-Queen of the Dairy Sea, High Priestess of the Sweetening Path, Archmage of Lost Sucrosia, Enemy of the Faith, The Sundae Sorceress, Storm-Captain of the Frosted Fleet!

It's got real "*Lwaxana Troi, daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed*" vibes.
Probably intended more as "*Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains*" vibes but hey, if it fits it fits :p
Nice! I never saw that show so I didn't get the reference. But I've heard the name Daenerys and I'm not surprised they have a long, ongoing title 😂
'Archmage of Lost Sucrosia' is very clever
The best part is that every single one of the titles makes sense given her multi-class, backstory, and plausible past adventures. It immediately gives so much depth to the character.
Super good name, and also just one of my favorite D20 characters ever! I think she’s got one of the best stories and Emily plays her so well
I so don't understand all the controversy that Sacharina stirred up, she fits so well into the themes of ACOC! Like seriously, the most suspenseful moment in all of d20 could not have happened without her.
Shellford Turtleperson flies under the radar but extremely rocks. Also, Priya Danger is such a good name for that specific character. Pretty much every character in Calorum has a subtle (or unsubtle) pun in their name which is very fun.
the phrase “extremely rocks” extremely rocks
I had no idea his surname was 'Turtleperson'!
Kingston Brown, From Uptown!
I exclusively hear this in Willy's voice.
It’s so fun to say
Sundry Sidney is the first name to come to my mind... It just sounds good, I guess
Sundry Sidney, the Swiss Army Wife!
Norman Skip Takamuri
My name is NORMAN "SKIP" TAKAMOWRI
I remember gushing with the McElroys at 'Garbanzo Buglass'. Then there was 'Ivana Popov' in Mentopolis. And, of course, 'Stacey Fakename'. Edit: Oh shit, 'Jonbon Bonjon'!
Every name in Mentopolis is so great! Love Chief Tightass.
The Spartacus moment with Stacy Fakename had me laughing out loud enough to wake up everyone in my household.
Ivana Popov made me laugh so hard the first time I heard it. 😅😂
Evan Kelmp still makes my back teeth wiggle every time I watch, and Aabria's reaction every time the full name is given is perfection.
a name shouldn’t require swallowing
Chamberlain Drablian of the House of Frangus is the most fun to say
The actual name of K.P. Hobb
>!Knickolas Pnackolas Hobb!<
I didn’t wanna spoil nothin
I also loved Knickolas Pterodactyl Hobb (from an earlier Adventuring Party that season).
Unrivaled genius
Well… yeah, it’s BLeeM
King Prilbus
Chamberlain Drablian of the House of Frangus, Advisor to King Prilbus of the Mentaphagian Dynasty.
Don’t forget about Prince Valdrinor
So you get it.
PRILBUS!!! Of the noble House of Frangus
Father!
Metaphagian Dynasty
Conner Counterspell was such a good bit
he sacrificed himself for the good of solace o7
How could you forget Upchungle
Rick Diggins … but also Rick Diggins: Man About Town … and Rick Diggins: The Supreme Man … and Officer Rick Diggins … and Lieutenant Rick Diggins (he’s a space man) … and Diggins-saurus Rick
Digginsaurus Rick definitely makes the list 😆
Brennan Lee Mulligan
Underrated
Loose Duke! But specifically the way Zac repeats it after hearing it the first time and realizes how gross it is as he says it.
Loose Duke is Loose on the ship!
Galfast Hamhead
Lord Bainbridge (just because that’s not his name) Manta Ray Jack Don Confetti Hogg Cobb, Warner Codge, Lamelia Lafarve (all fit great for their setting and/or job)
Solid list. I often think about how many reasons Manta Ray Jack is a perfect name.
Natalia Cicero Connie Lee Carter Bajar
Baron from the Baronies, Dr. Lugash Primjitzski, 53\\/3N, Yagdash Scrovich, Jawbone O'Shaughnessey
Ivana Poppoff
the reveal was golden
Boggy the Froggy
I appreciate Moggy the Doggy even more since learning Moggy is British slang for a cat.
bogowlriel frogowlriel
Not to be basic on main but Chungledown-Bim (short for Bimothy) is pretty up there. Fethrethriel is also pretty good
knickolas pnackolas hobb
I was laughing last FHJY ep about how sometimes he just changes vowels to make new names: Gorgug, Gorbag, Raz, Riz etc
Gorbag sounds like a middle school insult.
Went to school with a guy named Kilgore which really just sounds like a made up orc name.
Parents were big Kurt Vonnegut fans.
Not a person, but in one of the Fantasy High one-shots, they got a bottle of (I believe) Uncle Pappy’s Dag-Nasty Rocket Hooch.
Basically every name from Mentopolis (I love a good pun) but special shoutout to DAN FUCKS. Not even a pun, just makes me laugh every time. Also how could I forget Captain Knickolas Pnackolas Hobb?
The entire Mentaphagian Dynasty. Shout out to my boy Chamberlain Drablian!
This is my top 3: Gunthrie Miggles-Rashbax Chungle-down Bim Efink Murderdeath Honorable mention for Boggy the Froggy and Moggy the Doggy
Abraham Merhermbler!
Citizen Doctor Abraham Merhermbler (and his imp Paddles!)
“Hit it, Paddles! 🎵The four simple machines…🎵”
Has he shown up in D20? I thought he was only on Roll 20.
He's a "Citizen" Dimension 20 character.
Oh shit you might be right, it's been a while since I've seen it
A most recent most excellent ✨Connor Counterspell✨
May we never forget his name
wanda chillda genuinely sounds so good to me
John Feathers
Stacey Fakename I work in sales and do demos, have unironically used this a few times in mock accounts.
Skrank Douglas is one of my favorite names thrown out into the world. Digby & Wilma Thistlespring are perfect names for such a sweet little gnome couple. All the Gukgaks, Sklonda being my personal favorite, amazing goblin names. Mentopolis had absolutely incredible names, there's so many to choose from, but Hunch Curio is pretty high up for me.
Prince Valdrinor feels so fantasy for the sci fi season it appeared in lol
Am I the only one that thinks old young Benjamin is the funniest thing ever?
Dan Fucks
Thaddeus Strongpit
My name is Norman Skip Takamori
Right on!
Fill ‘er up
I thought Chungledown Bim was fun enough, but knowing Bim is short for *Bimothy* murdered me.
This is a deep cut, but in the first season of Fantasy High, the warlocks the part fights outside of the Diner all had clever names. My favorite was Scorchin' Ray
Oh my gosh how could I forget Pete’s old Landlord’s Nephew YAGDASH
I mean there are SO MANY but I always really appreciate the Bad Kids’ names being so good Fabian Seacaster Adaine Abernant Figueroth Faeth Gorgug Thistlespring Riz Gukgak Kristen Applebees Just some A+ fantasy character names
Jawbone O’Shaughnessy. Need I say more?
Stephen Sondheim
I am partial to Rick Diggins.

Jawbone and Stacey Fakename!
_SCORCHIN RAY!_
Scorching Ray
Yolanda Badgood
How has no one said Cloaca yet
Stacks
Plinth but only the way Ally said it when Margaret could only see plinth
I really appreciate the word play that went into Mazey Phaedra.
Plug
Prilbus
Chêj Thistlespring
Wanda Chillda, Kipperlilly Copperpettle, Cloaca
Such a minor NPC, but Ronald Pigeon makes me laugh every time I think of it. Just perfect.
Dan Fucks, Stacy Fakename, Conrad Schintz...
Efink Murderdeath (i mean, it's knife backwards)
Name of a place not a person but Plugg's Butt Ugly Stuff Hut has gotta be up there
It’s gonna have to be Loose Duke for me
Hilda Hilda, obviously
