Well it didn't take long for 2014 to deliver an unusual baby name. Adam and his wife are big fans of Mass Effect and had decided quite some time ago that they would name any daughter after Quarian technical genius Tali'Zorah. Well the time has come and with the birth of their daughter imminent they have confirmed they are sticking with the name.
There is no confirmation at this stage whether they are going to go through with the full name or shorten it to the less need to explain Tali.
As you may be able to tell by the headline I am really in two minds about this news. It goes without saying that the child is potentially in for a lifetime of explaining what may well become an obscure reference in years to come, however the name itself isn't overtly terrible and Tali really is one of the better female characters in gaming, and I am willing to admit to a bit of a nerd crush on this mysterious alien temptress during the many hours spent playing the Mass Effect series.
Considering over the last twelve months babies have been born with the names Cheese and Blip, and lets not forget the completely travesty of North West, it really could be much, much worse.
UPDATE:: After trawling the internet I found the original source via a forum post on The Escapist and it turns out Tali'Zorah has been officially welcomed to the world, complete with official paperwork completed. I'm pretty sure she'll be referred to as "Tali" (unless she gets in trouble because we all know that is the only time someone's full name is used!)
