By coincidence, "Halide" also happens to be a Turkish female name.

I thought the creators were turkish for a few seconds.

Here's the most famous Halide in Turkey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halide_Edip_Ad%C4%B1var

Slightly different pronunciation though I think.
Actually, I think the pronunciation is quite different.
Indeed. The Turkish name is pronounced similarly to "holly duh" and the chemical is pronounced "hay lied".
