Were Culber and Stamets married?

They didn't change their names.

So they are not married, or they are difficult people.
That barely holds any water in 2018, never mind a few years down the road.

My wife didn't change her surname when I got married, because she's well known in her field. I imagine two doctors in hundreds of years time would have a similar situation.

My wife didn't change her name two days ago.
 
I don’t think they ever stated one way or the other did they?

As for taking names, I don’t remember Kassidy taking Sisko’s name when they got married. Or Dax becoming “Jadzia Worf” so that no names changed doesn’t really tell us anything.

I don’t mind one way or another if they were married, but I suppose it doesn’t really affect the characters that much in the grand scheme - at least, not to me.
 
Dax was the symbiote's name, not her family name.
Fair point - Ezri’s last name was Tigan before she was joined to Dax.

Ok, well Jadzia didn’t become “Jadzia Dax-Worf”.

Probably because Dax was having *none* of it.

Stubborn worm.
 
I don't recall any line that specifically mentioned that they were married. I guess I just assumed they were, because they got to share quarters (I wouldn't expect Starfleet to allow non-married couples to live together).

Has this been confirmed one way or the other?

Allow me everyone,

With the power invested in me as a Gay, i hereby decree that stamets and culber were married.

*makes sign of the gay cross which oddly looks like an erect penis with two testes*

SO IT IS DECREED.

Mods, feel free to close the thread.
 
Worf isn't his family name. :p
See I always wondered about that because Klingons were all like “the house of this or that”

Would Worf’s surname have actually been “Mogh” or “Martok”?

I never understood how Klingon familial naming practices actually worked.

Did they change the name of the house every generation? So the house of Mogh became the house of Worf? Or was Mogh the ceremonial name and every so often a male heir was named Mogh?

Why isn’t Ronald D Moore on this forum? I have so many Klingon questions!!! Or Mary Chieffo - she seems knowledgable about such things...!
 
Klingons don't have family names. It's always [name], son/daughter of [name].

Alexander only has a last name because he was raised by his mother.

Did they change the name of the house every generation? So the house of Mogh became the house of Worf?

The head of a Klingon House has the right to change the House's name to whatever he wants. So Worf would have been within his rights to change it to the "House of Worf" if he'd wanted. Probably he chose to leave it as "House of Mogh" to honor his father.
 
According to Memory-Alpha

Worf – son of Mogh, of the Klingon House of Martok, of the Human family Rozhenko; mate to K'Ehleyr, father to Alexander Rozhenko, and husband to Jadzia Dax; Starfleet officer and soldier of the Empire; bane of the House of Duras; slayer of Gowron; Federation ambassador to Qo'noS

:lol:

That’s what confuses me - is the “name” in “son/daughter of [name]” the family (I.e. the House) name or the name of the immediate predecessor?

It's probably up to whoever the head of the house is.

... and mother of dragons

The "name" is the parent's name.

We know that Klingon males are always listed as "son of [father's name]", but we do NOT know if Klingon females are also named that way, or if they are given as "daughter of [mother's name]".

For instance, in one DS9 episode, there's a "N'Garen, daughter of Tse'dek". We don't know if Tse'dek is N'Garen's mother or her father.

The "son/daughter of" is the parents name.

The House names seem to be a bit random really, they apparently don't have to reflect the current head of the House nor even a recent one.

Also, Houses aren't exactly a family, they're more of a nobility thing, so most regular Klingons aren't a part of any House.

Correct. It's up to the leader of a House to determine what that House's name is. They can leave it as is, change it to their own name, or choose any name they want.
