Although they had planned to give her a lasting human name , Star Trek : Voyager ’s creative team instead chose to keep Seven ’s Borg appointment .

Braga asserted that this was done to set Seven apart , but her Borg denomination also makes sense narratively . Read Braga ’s full quote below :
" We struggled for a long metre . Initially , we give her a Human name . She was gon na be name Pera , or Annika , or something . We wrote the first couplet of book with a Human name . And it was n’t until a little later that we thought , ' She should n’t have a Human name . She should be do aside , in some style . ' "
While " Seven of Nine " was doubtless Seven ’s true name , Voyagerstill set up that her human name before she was assimilate was Annika Hansen . Doing this allowedVoyagerto explore the duality between Seven ’s erstwhile and new lives , and add acceptance to the fact that she was no longer the little little girl she had been when she became Borg .
