Does anybody else think the name "Donte" is stupid?

[ItWasAnEggTimer]

Oh man, you changed a letter in his name, so now it has "don't!"

huehuehuehuehue

I think he was also called Dino at one point too. :tongue:

In real life, there are twins called Dante and Donte. I saw it on a crime documentary.

Let's not forget Vorgil/Vino/Vergin/Vergita...

-- I actually like "Vergita" tho --

I think calling him "DINO" is rather clever and a lil funny but Donte isnt either so :facepalm:

 

[sssensational]

I'm pretty sure that they started referring to him as Donte because Tim Phillipps (Dante's voice/mocap actor) has an Australian accent. When he uses it while saying 'Dante', he pronounces it as 'Donte'.

Generally, people started picking it up to refer to the Dante they hate. That's why I don't like anyone referring to him as Donte.

 

[ItWasAnEggTimer]

Sounds more like he's saying "Dawnte."

I don't really care for the name honestly. To me, Donte is just a childish name for a childish fanbase.
Of course I can't act as a mature voice since I call DMC4 Dante Dickte or Douchete.

No Donte has been his name ever since 2010.

 

[absolitude]

I know, I started a thread about it. The show was called Evil Twins and it was on ID channel.

It's just fast way to type than "reboot Dante" or "new Dante".

 

[Foxtrot94]

Wasn't he called Donte because people were like "No, you're not Dante, stop it. Don't do it. Don't"?

 

[Innsmouth]

As far as I know it's rather how his VA pronounce his name.

Yea. Being a bunch of big babies.

 

[Foxtrot94]

Yea. Being a bunch of big childish babies.

If you call them babies there's no need to add childish too. If they're babies, of course they're childish LOL
Just sayin'.

 

[DragonMaster2010]

Why was this even brought back?

 

[Innsmouth]

for flamebaiting?

Okay, there really isn't any point to this thread. Locked.
