Did you name your son after the captain of DS9?


Not OP but my daughter and ex wife haven’t worked out the name I picked for my daughter was from an ST:TNG character. They’d kill me.


Lwaxana is very unusual. How haven't they guessed yet?


Definitely not that one!


Crystalline Entity? Q? Guinan?


Lal is a beautiful name


Is it Tasha?


Bingo


Better keep her away from any suspicious black puddles.


not Kes though right?


Kes is not a TNG character. Maybe Deanna?


I'm sure little Jadzia will never figure it out.

Edit: crap, that's DS9...


BTW, a very common name in Poland, a diminutive form of Jadwiga. If you ever read any Polish history, it almost seems like most of noblewomen were named Jadwiga.


Hard to say - it was never discussed at the time but we did end up on Katherine and Benjamin. From my perspective sort of a happy coincidence - the unconscious is a strong power tho and I wouldn’t argue against someone saying that was the source. Also, of course we wanted flexible names with a lot of different possible nick names, as giving a person you haven’t met a name is kind of a big responsibility without much info.
