So, pretty much "Papadopoulos' is the most common surname in Greece. It means "Son of a Priest"
So, Algie is Greek I guess?
-
I would imagine. A bastard, too. :laugh:
-
Algie is a back stabbing turd. But I always felt sorry for him for some reason.
-
Algie is a fuckface and I don't feel even an ounce of sympathy toward him. :)
ANYWAY... I think surnames were just chosen at random and have nothing to do with heritage. (http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs4/i/2004/231/0/f/Deglitched_shrug_emoticon.gif)

I dunno.....He sorta LOOKS Greek.
-
Lol yes, it's Greek.
-
Quite sure the surnames indicate heritage, for the most part. Algie deffo has a Greek look to back up his surname. Constantinos too.
Most Greasers have Italian names and surnames, and that's no coincidence. Similarly, almost all Preps have surnames indicating British, French, or Dutch ancestry, following the "blue-blood" trend.
Luis and Pedro are obviously Hispanic.

What does it say about Rockstar's attitude towards Greeks that Algie and Constantinos are two of the biggest losers and jerks in the game? :hmm:

Except Chad. lol

Yup, though it is worth mentioning that his last name traces its origins back to British roots.
-
I reckon Constantinos is too.
Hell, the files list Constantinos as "Greekboy"

Hence why I said in my comment:

Let me expand on what I said earlier:
I don't think surnames are a very reliable source for pinpointing a specific heritage, or there at least need other factors than just a name.
Look at the surname Martin. It's roots come from English, French, and German descent, but there's really no telling what Christy/Wade's heritage is. And yes, Pedro certainly does have a Hispanic name, but he doesn't look or sound it which makes me just think Rockstar just changed his name late in the game or something.
Now, Justin's last name is Vandervelde, and I'm pretty sure Van der Velde is of Dutch ancestry. However, I actually think that Justin is Greek based on his "pleasingly Grecian" line he says when looking in the mirror and how he bitches there should be more Greek marble sculptures around the school. Or he could simply like the culture. Who knows.
That said, I have a problem with the preps in general. Spencer is the only surname out of the preppies that has a singularly English background, but Tad admits his faux-British pretensions. Gord also fakes his accent (as he occasionally slips in and out of everybody in town wait what it) while some others don't have one at all. I dunno, it just makes me wonder if some preps are faking their ethnicity as a whole.
Now that's not to say they aren't English/what have you, but to me there's really nothing about them that screams they're from that background.

...OR it could be R* just messing with us.
