* Cody is a name of English origin that comes from an Irish/Gaelic surname meaning "Helpful." Rather fitting for a guy who helped his crush Gwen hook up with Trent back during TDI despite the feelings he had for her. Helpful, indeed.

Heather was only really a Hate Sink in Island, so adding this to fit with other seasons as well.


* [[Characters/TotalDramaHeather Heather]] is most likely named after ''{{Film/Heathers}},'' a film about social cliques in high school that features a trio of [[GirlPosse queen bees]] as main characters, all named Heather. Furthermore, Heather's name can also be seen as an anagram for [[HateSink "hate her"]].

!!!Toxic Rats
* Though it may just be a coincidence, the name "Dakota" means "friend" or "ally," which fits her genuinely SpoiledSweet personality rather well.
* Dawn's name is synonymous with "sunlight," which fits her normally warmhearted personality in front of others (even if she unintentionally creeps them out with her magic powers).

!!Total Drama Pahkitew Island

!!!Pimâpotew Kinosewak
* Sammy's nickname Samey is one more letter than the word "same" and arose specifically because she is the younger twin sister of Amy.

!!!Wâneyihtam Maskwak
* Beardo has an awfully large beard for a teenager.
* Her name, Ella, is the second half of "Cinderella"

!!Total Drama Reboot

!!!Ferocious Trout
* Chase often tries to get back together with Emma; in other words, he chases after Emma. Also, his being a live-streamer who does stupidly dangerous stunts, dares, and pranks for the views means he's a clout chaser.
* Named "Ripper" for ripping farts. And his first shirt. And then his pants.

!!!Frogs Of Death
* Bowie is [[https://twitter.com/standupmonkey/status/1665060710567518209 named]] after Music/DavidBowie, a flamboyant singer well-known for his ties to sexual fluidity and the LGBT community.
** Also, Bowie's name means "yellow-haired" or "blonde"; guess what his hair color is.
* [[Characters/TotalDramaJulia Julia]] name can mean "vivaciousness," which is to be lively in a spiritual or temperamental way. She initially behaved as the former definition, modeling herself after chill GranolaGirl guru archetypes for social media, [[spoiler: before later showing her true colors as the latter, a [[CardCarryingVillain card-carrying]], backstabbing AlphaBitch.]]
* Raj's name means "King," which is very fitting [[spoiler: given his boyfriend Bowie often expressed his desire to win [[CoolCrowns crowns]] (As in competitions), and kings usually wear crowns. Hence, it's no wonder the latter won over the former's heart]].
