The wife and I are struggling for names and we’re running out of time. No idea what we’re having. Throw some names out there…

If I have kids (doubtful) I would probably use a name from Trek. Some of my favorite names:

  • Jadzia
  • Kira
  • Geordi
  • Solais/Riva
  • Dal
  • Chakotay

Although I like the name Miles, I don't want to subject my child to a lifetime of suffering

Jadzia

Poland fact: Jadzia is a real Polish name, diminutive of Jadwiga. It's of course pronounced absolutely different than Star Trek name which in Polish would be spelled something like "Dżadzija"

  • Kahless the Unforgettable
  • Worf, Son of Mogh (regardless of the father's actual name
  • Tuvix (which provides a golden opportunity to explain to the child that they are only alive due to the "deaths" of the two beings who fused to form them)
  • Borg Queen
