Mass Effect Fan’s Baby Daughter Being Named Tali’Zorah

January 4, 2014 by Josiah Renaudin

This is a new one. A couple with a soft spot for the Mass Effect series will be naming their daughter Tali’Zorah.

You know, I can appreciate a unique name based on a well-known video game. There are plenty of interesting choices that have been featured in the medium throughout the years, but one member of The Escapist's forums (via Kotaku) might have taken this concept a bit far. Today, Adam and his wife expect to have a baby daughter named Tali'Zorah, which is a character from the Mass Effect franchise.

No, it wasn’t even his idea.

“Anyway, tomorrow my daughter is scheduled to be born. I'm freaking out and all that, but that's not why I'm here,” he wrote yesterday. “Since day 1, her first name was always going to be Tali'Zorah. It's not necessarily ‘named after Mass Effect,’ but rather my wife fell in love with the name during our first playthrough of ME1 many years ago. Confused friends and relatives are told ‘we wanted a nice Quarian name’ just because it's funny to see the confusion become worse.

“All that aside, a couple of people have told me that we're nuts for giving a child that name. I like it a lot, I'm assuming she'll like it, and I don't think she'll get teased for it or anything like that. Out of curiosity, am I totally off base about that? For further discussion value, this thread can be about the entire concept of video games being used to inspire names.”

Is this crazy? Really, that’s up to interpretation. People have been naming their children after pieces of entertainment for quite some time, so maybe people won’t raise an eyebrow every time someone utters, “Tali'Zorah.” Maybe.
