- An asteroid discovered on April 22, 2001 has been named 26733 Nanavisitor (2001 HC16) in her honor. It's a small, main-belt asteroid which takes 4.2 years to orbit the sun.
- She's an admitted claustrophobic. She had a hard time filming the episode Second Skin (1994), in which her character Kira appeared as a Cardassian, because of the full rubber makeup she had to wear. Her co-star in the episode, Andrew Robinson, is also an admitted claustrophobic, as is the character he played, Garak, who became claustrophobic at a young age on Cardassia.
- Son, Django El Tahir El Siddig, born on September 16, 1996, was named for Django Reinhardt, a jazz musician. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) co-star, Alexander Siddig, is Django Siddig's father.
- Fellow Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) cast member Andrew Robinson is the godfather of Nana's son, Django.
- Gave birth to her son, Django El Tahir El Siddig, during the filming of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) episode Let He Who Is without Sin... (1996). Not surprisingly, she did not appear in that episode.
- [When asked if she felt Terry Farrell made the right decision by leaving Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993).] Absolutely. Because she was following her own instincts. That can't be wrong and she certainly got a lot more years of experience doing the Ted Danson show Becker (1998) on CBS. I'll admit that I tried to talk Terry out of it. That I wanted her to stay. But she told me very eloquently that it was what her heart insisted upon. You can't argue with that.
- I have deep feelings about Star Trek. I feel that it's able to present archetypes that are important storytelling tools. And we need storytelling.
