Why do the Dax hosts have human names?

Some of them have human-adjacent names (Emony, sounds like Ebony, Torias, sounds like Tobias, Audrid, sounds like Audrey, Lela, sounds like Lila).

Some of them have straight up human names (Tobin, Jadzia, Ezri, Curzon, though Curzon is a surname).

Even Dax itself is a human name.

You'd think the Trills had early first contact with Earth, or something.

Two clans most similar to one another?

Personally, I'd go with Brujah and Toreador. They share 2 out of 3 disciplines, for a start. Both are overly emotional in some way. Both are obsessed with their own image (Brujah as rebels, and Toreador as artists). Both have very human rooted curses (quick to anger and aesthetic obsession). Both are very connected to humanity in general (I believe their antideluvians were the ones who created the Path of Humanity in the first place, correct me if I'm wrong). Also both are high clans, but there's a fair few of those.

White Wolf clearly thought so too, since they merged the two in Requiem as Daeva (with a sprinkling of Ravnos and Ministry for good measure).

Emy Coligado was 31 when she first appeared on the show

Playing 19. I know most of the kid cast were playing younger, and Dawson casting is fairly common, but it's never that convincing. Like, the cast of Grease were all 25+, for example, but I never bought any of them as 18 for a second.

I thought Emy was at least the same age as Chris Masterson.
