Back in October, I informed actress Zoie Palmer that the time had finally come. This season, we were going to give her character, the Android, a name. And a backstory. But, more importantly, a name. And so, the two of us got to work, pitching each other possible monikers via text over the course of three months.

I’d be lying in bed, just about to doze off when – PING! I’d check my phone: “Iris”.

Zoie would be sitting in trailer, getting her hair done when – PING! I’d offered “Alice”.

I’d be sitting in a visual effects meeting – PING! “Blake”.

She’d be doing some weekend shopping – PING! “Sydney”.

Me in the shower, shampooing – PING! “Jules”.

Her on set, rehearsing a scene – PING! “Marie”.

“Cleo”

“Clara”

“Zee”

“Destiny”

“Cal”

“Aloysia”

“Dee”

“Loyloy”

Finally, last night, we narrowed it down to our Top 10 and, over the next half hour, narrowed our choices down through process of elimination.

PING! She nixed “Lexie”.

PING! I axed “Tosh”.

She rejected “Amelia”.

I dumped “Elle”.

“Sam” was the next to go followed by –

“Cass”

“Reese”

Then “Kai” until –

Only two remained! Zoie deliberated and, in the end, decided on…

Eliminating “Evie”. Which left her with…

The Android’s name I’ll be dropping into Episode 10.

Yay Team Zolozzi! Is there anything we can’t accomplish?!

Oh, hey, while you’re hear, enjoy this concept artwork by Henry Fong for Dark Matter’s third season:
