Line 195:
* In ''[[Westworld]]'', the name ''Dolores'' refers to her status as a 'doll' or plaything for her human creators. Her partner, ''Teddy'', is likely a reference to 'teddy bears', the soft and cuddly toys for kids. (Maeve's daughter is seen playing with dolls).
** The name of the company behind Westworld, ''Delos'', is taken from the Greek for 'visible, manifest',<ref>[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B4%E1%BF%86%CE%BB%CE%BF%CF%82#Ancient_Greek δῆλος in Ancient Greek] ''wiktionary.org''</ref> which is where the word 'psychedelic'<ref>[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/psychedelic psychedelic] ''wiktionary.org''</ref> (mind-manifesting) comes from. A slightly more obscure reference would be to the Greek island of Delos<ref>[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Delos Delos in Greece] ''wikipedia.org''</ref> which alludes to the fact that Westworld is an isolated location, cut off from the world. Combine these two concepts together and you get ''an isolated location where artificially intelligent minds are made manifest''.
