Is the name Tyrell a Blade Runner reference? Or is it simply The Right Name?
On the one hand, I did not intentionally choose the name as a reference to Blade Runner. On the other hand, I was immediately aware of the implied reference, no matter how unconscious it might have initially been. Which is to say, as much as that film has influenced me, I often do not see the influences until after the fact (in this case, seconds after the fact). But. It is a name. Many, many people have this name. In fact, there is a little known actress named Amanda Tyrell. So, no...not an intentional reference in any way that I can (yet) see. And yes, the Right Name.
