TetsuoShima Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Thus is what StarTrek.com has to say: Full Name: Spock (lineal Vulcan name unpronounceable) So maybe Vulcan names are a bit more complicated than Human... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenhank Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 If you want to get just a bit formal, you can go with "Spock, son of Sarek". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GorunNova Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 This is a little off topic, but I think Gene came up with that character's name after a particularly painful game of squash! :D *SPOCK* "Owww! My head!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netshark Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Does every male vulkan name end with a pronounced "k" ? spock, tuvok, sarek...(the only ones that come into my mind yet :X) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TetsuoShima Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 No, but a lot do. Examples of Vulcan male names not ending with k: Koss - Kov - Soval - Tavin - Tolaris - Tos Soval will most likely be the one you can remember best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektram Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 The Vulcan Language Institute - Names ... After Surak died, those that followed his teachings adopted names starting with the letter "S" in memory and honor of Surak, based on his name. That is more or less the official line. ... As for Vulcan men with names like Xon, Taurik, Vorik, and Tuvok... It has been suggested that they come from different ethnic or religious backgrounds on Vulcan. This makes a lot of sense and we believe this is the #1 reason for these names. The theory that these men are not followers of Surak's teachings, thus have no "S" name makes no sense, sense Vorik and Tuvok seem to follow his teachings. Tuvok has even gone through the Kolinahr ritual to purge emotions. Of course, related to a different ethnic background is the fact that some Vulcans are not pure Vulcan. Some are part Vulcan and part Romulan, for example, and the father's or mother's culture played a part in naming them. Nearly every Vulcan woman we've encountered has a name based on the prefix of " T' ", like T'Pau, T'Pring, T'Sai and T'Lar. This is a very ancient custom, going back before the time of Surak. We believe it is a remnant of a long-dead Vulcan language and/or culture. ... As for Vulcan women with names like Saavik, Valeris and Sokona.... Saavik and Valeris were half Romulan, so that explains their names. Sokona was an outlaw, so perhaps changed her name from the classic form. Of course, women on Vulcan come from other ethnic and religious backgrounds, so that is a factor here. An interesting website, I've taken a few bits out of that quote. I suggest you sheck out the pages on Vulcan Culture if you're interested in it. Vulcan Language Institute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I thought Valeris was a Klingon name. I'm sure I read somwhere that her parents gave her a Klingon name. Where was that? Possibly the Undiscovered Country Novelization? Well, I'm sure I'll think of it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
