Talk:Miranda Keyes

More images?

I was just looking up images of Miranda around the web, and there's a pathetically small number of them around, and those few available are endlessly circulated. Does anyone have additional images or screen captures that may be used for this page?Fire Eater 23:01, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. there are a few images in the Halo Encyclopedia that could be used.

Mother

According to the journal from the limited and legendary editions of Reach Halsey is Miranda's mother. someone who has the information should add it to the article. FATGUNN 23:39, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Why would Miranda's surname be Halsey? If Jacob was her father, then she should have been born as Miranda Keyes. Template:Arby116Sig

Her parents did not marry, and she lived with her mother. Its been stated that her relationship with her father was never great. VARGR 13:06, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Her surname would still not be Halsey. There is insufficient proof that says so. All we know is that she had her name legally changed but we are never given her birth name. Her birth name could be anything. It could even be Miranda Curtana...- 5əb'7aŋk^(7alk) 13:12, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry if I'm behind but.... That's why Miranda looks so damn similar to Cortana!? Template:EM Sig

Continueing SubTank disscusion: If Keyes wasn't around when Halsey gave birth to Miranda, then Dr. halsey would have been the one to name her, including her last name. Keyes was probably on duty at the time anyway. Que Sera, Sera 02:51, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Yes it's even mentioned by Halsey in her journal that Cortana looks quite like Miranda. The fact that she mentioned this at all means that Halsey has a genetic relationship with Miranda, otherwise such a comment would make little sense, with Cortana being derived from Halsey's brain. ---dky 22:26, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Just to be clear, when any child is born to an unwed mother, the child takes his or her mother's last name by default, so Miranda would have been born Miranda Halsey. Like Miranda did, the child can obviously get the name changed later, but taking the mother's last name is the norm unless the mother is married (in which case the child automatically takes the father's last name). Also, there are subtle details in Halsey's journal that are far more definitive in demonstrating that Miranda is indeed her daughter than what has been discussed so far - just got to pay more attention to some of the scribbles Halsey writes on the margins of her journal.
