I love how the critical role fandom has just collectively decided to ignore the fact that “Vax’ildan” could just as easily be shortened to “Dan”
Ya know, in my own personal headcanon, Kashaw heard about Vax’s ultimate fate shortly after the fact, went like “that motherfucker” and then insisted his and Zahra’s kid be named Dan. Not after Vax, of course, just because he likes the name, the big sap.
