Screaming Gophers
- 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.
- "Gwen" means "white" or "pale," and she's a goth girl with noticeably paler skin than most other characters.
- Heather is most likely named after Heathers, a film about social cliques in high school that features a trio of queen bees as main characters, all named Heather. Furthermore, Heather's name can also be seen as an anagram for "hate her".

Mutant Maggots
- Brick surname McArthur seems to be a reference to World War II general Douglas MacArthur, which highlights his military-themed characterization.

- Though it may just be a coincidence, the name "Dakota" means "friend" or "ally," which fits her genuinely Spoiled Sweet 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 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 named
after David Bowie, 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.
- 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 Granola Girl guru archetypes for social media, before later showing her true colors as the latter, a card-carrying, backstabbing Alpha Bitch.
- Raj's name means "King," which is very fitting given his boyfriend Bowie often expressed his desire to win crowns (As in competitions), and kings usually wear crowns. Hence, it's no wonder the latter won over the former's heart.
