No big analysis, and also just a note that I did not come up with this on my own - I think I first heard this during a Gaming University discussion of the game, but here's the crazy thing:
As Saga investigates the whole Cult of the Tree situation, a fictional narrative begins to overwrite her own life, most terribly in the fact that her daughter is, in the narrative, dead, having drowned at some point while Saga was staying in Watery with her family (Saga in the real story was unaware that she was born there until later).
In the Old Gods chapter, we hear about a story in which a teenager drowned in the bunker beneath what is now the Valhalla Nursing Home, whose name is Norah.
But is it Norah?
See, here's the thing:
In the Cyrillic alphabet, used for the Russian language (among others, I believe,) the letters look similar to the Roman alphabet, but some don't totally match (there's some overlap with the Greek alphabet as well).
The letter that makes the L sound looks a bit like an N (a sort of large lower case N)
O is basically the same.
The letter than makes the G sound is basically a Greek Gamma, which looks like an upside-down L, but could also be interpreted as a lower-case R.
A is, again, the same.
Finally, the letter that makes the N sound looks like an H.
Norah is Logan.
