I haven’t watched Orphan Black, so I don’t know if it’s representative, but just on ring alone that’s fantastic.
That's one of the more curious examples. As I understand it, the name *still* doesn't actually mean anything. IIRC, they came up with the name first, then built a series vaguely inspired by it, but in practice there's no literal relationship there that I've been able to spot. But it *is* deliciously evocative, even if it's not evoking anything specific.
(I do recommend the series. It's mediocre science fiction, but well-written and brilliantly acted.)
