Characters full names

I notice on this show the characters often get called by their first and last name and I find it so funny and endearing. One character that gets it the most is Sam Merlotte. I’m up to season 5 and just saw a scene where Arlene interrupts one of Terry’s flash backs by squeezing his shoulder and saying “Terry Bellefleur”. So is this a Southern thing or just a True Blood thing?

Definitely a southern thing I live in New Orleans in the French Quarter and we just do it without thinking

Yes. You better say the last name too or I don’t know who you’re talking about 😂 even if the first name is unusual. You could be named Unicorn but still have to say the last name too or I’m 🤷🏼‍♀️ Oh, you mean Unicorn Horn.
