Star Trek baby names: All 5 series

by Nicola Jane Ford

To boldly name…
Call us dorks, sci-fi geeks, Trekkies or whatever you want — we are Star Trek fans, and proud of it. Proud enough, in fact, to put together this list of more than 70 different names inspired by the five different series: the original, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise. (We can’t forget to honor the creator of the Star Trek universe: you could always name your kid after Eugene “Gene” Wesley Roddenberry.)

Want something completely alien? Got that. Something traditional from Earth? Have some of those, too. We also have a few that are interesting but don’t scream, “My mom took me to Comic Con when I was a month old.”

Baby names: Engage!
Below, you can check out names we hand-culled from from TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT — mostly based on characters, but you’ll see a few other things (such as actors’ names and some alien species) in the mix. (If you have more ideas, post ‘em in the comments section!)
