More news – and we think some of you will find this particularly FANTASTIC.
Executive producer Julie Plec tweeted:
It’s Salvatore after all. But not Salvatooreee. Just Salvatore. Subjective choice, felt right. Hope u like it anyway.
We asked if she could clarify and she did:
@tvdnews yes, that’s the official name. There was a concern that we wouldn’t be able to clear it — hence, whitmore — but it made it thru.
She then added:
@tvdnews but before you feel too good, I will admit that it’s Stefan, not Stefahn. Another subjective choice. We’ll explain all in due time
“Whitmore” is being kicked to the curb, guys. We’re getting Stefan and Damon Salvatore (as in…?). Vampire-Diaries.net can’t wait to banish the double character tagging going on all over this humble website. (Might not be all the last names, but it’s the one that counts.)

Ah well, I’d rather have Stefan than Stefahn… It’s how I think of it in my head. At least it’s not as bad as Vanyel/Vahnyel… :P
And, yay for Salvatore! Xarra(Quote)

Hooray for Salvatore. Whitemore was just a really lame last name for these brothers. Barbara(Quote)

Better. Still not great, definitely still not to the point where I’ll watch it, but it’s a step in the right direction. Although I’m REALLY curious as to why they decided to mispronounce them intentionally (which will make me cringe almost as much as hearing “Whitmore”) – what’s the reasoning? Incanto(Quote)

Well YAY! I would rather have the names Americanized than completely changed. LOL I guess they wanted to make it less Italian sounding since “Mystic Falls” (it still pains me to write that) is their home. hmm. At least it is Salvatore. I feel SO much better…but I mourn “Honeycutt” still. Victoria(Quote)

I’m almost thinking it is because they feel audiences couldn’t deal with it. Which is horrible, but I’m almost 100% certain that it is something to do with stupid audiences. Adia(Quote)

Thank god for small mercies!
Are they changing their history too? Or are they sticking with the stupid “Mystic Falls” backstory? Adia(Quote)

I think the Mystic Falls thing is there to stay. Yeeeeeeah. Red(Quote)

…but aren’t they meant to have founded the town? Is that likely?
That is stupid then. They should stick with the bloody Whitmore name and re-brand the show. The more silly changes they make away from the books at least it is more like a completely new direction than a pale, weak imitation of the books. Adia(Quote)

Doesn’t mention anything about the town founders that I remember. Just that Stefan and Damon are from there during the civil war era. Red(Quote)

God, how ironic, as soon as I comment somewhere else, something about the Salvatores and say “sorry, WHITMORE”, I see this! Oh well, I’m happy (:
And about Stefan’s name, does she mean that it’s officially pronounced “Stef-uhn” and not “Stef-ahhn”?? Like, told by LJ Smith? Because, if it is, my friends had better never see this thing. Nilly(Quote)

The book is awesome but the way you guys are making the movie/show kinda messes it up. Elena is suppose to be blond with blue eyes not brown hair n she has a 4 year old sister not a brother, Bonnie’s hair is curly n short … i just hope that the show comes out as good as the books -_- …. but i still LOVE IT AND CANT WAIT TO WATCH IT.
