Hello. I was googling names (not having any children; I just like giving my videogame characters meaningful and unique names) when I decided to punch in the names of our human ME:A squad mate's and well...
Liam
"Strong-willed warrior and protector. It's a shorter form of the Irish name Uilliam, which originated from the Frankish Willahelm, meaning "helmet of will." It's also a shortened version of "William." Well-known Liams: actors Liam Neeson and Liam Hemsworth."
Sure sounds accurate to what we have heard of him. He was a Police Officer (guys and gals who keep order and protect people). And he is a Security Guard for the Ai programs squishier members. The willpower could refer to his bravery/idealism/strong emotions/ability to remain light hearted under stressful circumstances for the sake of those around them. And my favourite part; "helmet of will" could refer to the fact that he REALLY likes that helmet of his, much to the dismay of those in the Official Liam thread.
Cora (I presume the female humanoid in the skintight Ai hardsuit, wearing the crash/odst helmet is a human)
"The name "Cora" is a name first made popular by American writer James Fenimore Cooper for the dark-haired heroine in "The Last of the Mohicans" (1826). A variant of the Greek KORË or CORINNA., it means meaning "maiden." Kore is an alternate name for the Greek goddess Persephone."
Not so much to be learned here. For those wondering, Persephone is apparently a "Goddess of the underworld, springtime, flowers, vegetation". The maiden part could refer to a "maiden voyage" and/or being a young girl or woman. She might also have black hair? Anyone got any better interpretations of this one? I read this as Merrill 2.0 has just joined our crew.
