: kat: As far as Spock's first name,... I only know you couldn't pronounce it.
: jason:Wow - that's impressive! Actually I don't know his exact name, but the reason it can't be pronounced is that it is all consonants.
: I wouldn't say I am a crazy trekkie, and I haven't even been to a convention, but I'm pretty proficient in ST Trivia.
: I am curious as to how you know that Spock's name is all consonants? The reason I know you couldn't pronounce it is because that is what Spock says to romantic interest Leila when she asks him if he has a first name.
: This occured in the episode, "This Side of Paradise" from the original series.
I'm not a trekkie either (I am a fan). A friend, who was a trekkie (i.e. he made a replica phaser and scale model of the Excelsior with Legos among many other interesting things - I love Legos!) is my source -- I'd have to ask him...
