Why does this show give stupid nicknames to characters?


Remember Quetsia? That was a pretty cool name but she decided to call herself Tessa. Tessa is such a stupid name. Why the hell would anyone with an awesome name like Quetsia want to be called Tessa? And this season we're introduced to Arcadia. Pretty awesome name. So, why the hell do they have to call him Cade? That sounds so stupid.

Qetsiah is a very pretty name but when you're called that every day for many years at some point it just doesn't sound that special anymore.

reply

Arcadia nickname being Cade, makes perfect sense since it's easier to say. But Tessa is a pretty name, it's the name of my youngest niece. Plus Questsia is a mouthful to say all of the time.

I think Qetsiyah wanted to keep up more with "the times" and have a normal name.

Cade is just a short version of Arcadius, its like Niklaus going by Klaus or Nik.
While Qetsiyah changed her name to Tessa because she didn't like the original.

reply

Same with Niklaus (Klaus) and Malakai (Kai).

Damons' nicknames are so much better.

Vampire-Barbie, Barbie-Klaus, blondie, professor creepy, professor shadypants Crazy pants, Bon-bon, Lockwolf to name a few.

Never argue with stupid people,they will drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

I'm sorry but Bon-Bon is the worst!

reply

OK, agreed, that one is lame.

But Bonster is good. And Bon-Bon, meaning delicious frozen treat might be a good thing when one is in hell. 😏

We're all on our way out, act accordingly.

Also, it's amusing, death in this proportion needs comic relief.

true why give a long ass complicated name when it won't even be used right? niklaus-klaus/nik or arcadius/cade, you have a point there matthew/matt caroline/care bonnie/bon bon i agree just give them names that everyone will stick to.

reply

Because when people have long ass complicated names they generally shorten them in real-life. My name is Katherine but I go by Katie or Kate. At least Klaus/Nik and Cade are legitimate short forms that make sense. Dick being short for Richard and Bob being short for Robert drive me insane.

Its something you'll get used to a mental mind *beep* can be nice!

lol! good point
