One of my boyfriend's big guilty pleasures is "Star Trek." He was talking about it last night and I had a bad name flashback.

One of my exes was in the Navy. I remember him mentioning a few times that one of his fellow privates was named Starship Constellation. His parents were apparently huge "Star Trek" geeks. At the very least, I think his last name was something standard like Jones, and since everyone generally referred to one another by their last name, I guess that was what kept him from going on a killing spree. From what I remember, though, his superiors made fun of his name constantly, calling him Private Jefferson Starship, Private Dipper, Private Spock, etc.

I guess maybe it could have been worse, his last name could have been Dancer.

Wow... and I thought it was bad that my Trekker hubby wanted to give our second child the middle name Tiberius(James Tiberius Kirk) if it was a boy. He also wanted to name it Mariborne if it was a girl(a character from and episode of "The Next Generation".

I wouldn't have recognized Mariborne, but that actually strikes me as a really interesting name. Just curious, what middle name did you end up talking him down to?
