Spoilers Revealed! Number One's name is...

As for Chris calling her Noona, that’s what the Netflix subtitles say. The American/Canadian ones say nothing.

Yeah, I just watched it again with subtitles on. It does, however, sound more like he says Una at this point though. Seeing as it follows on from "conn", it does seem possible that he could actually have been saying either.

Have to admit, I'd completely missed this first time around.
 
Let's just go with Una Robbins (Robbins taken from the Pike Early Voyages comic that can still fit into canon).
 
So over on Memory-Alpha, some users think that the "Noona" is a bad transcription from Pike saying 'and uh'

The CBS subtitles have 'and uh, Admiral' after he says 'giving you the conn'. While Netflix doesn't.

Michelle Paradise confirmed that Pike called her Una

TREKCORE: Rebecca Romijn’s Number One went by ‘Commander’ or simply ‘Number One’ for most of her time on-screen, but it sounded like Pike did call her ‘Una’ one time during the finale — the character’s name from the Star Trek tie-in novels. It wasn’t in the captions, so can you confirm we heard that correctly?

PARADISE: Oh yes, it was Una.
 
It all runs together in the dialog as "connuna" so it's an easy mistake to make when transcribing the subtitles. "Conn, Una", "Conn, Noona", and "Conn, 'n', uh" are all going to be nearly indistinguishable in a quick line read in a tense situation. For what it's worth, it sounded like Una to me, but knowing she'd been given such a goofy fanfic pun name in some novels likely primed me to hear it.

The official confirmation is appreciated!
 
I also assumed that the guy doing the debriefing was an admiral. But it was pointed out somewhere in this forum that he didn't have all that extra gold nonsense on his shoulders.

But anyway, I think in these instances, "state your name and rank for the record" is just standard procedure.

^ Yeah, he really should. Also, why would she jest about her name in the first place? Does she read Memory Beta? :confused:

There's no indication that he doesn't know her name. He's just asking her to state her name for the record, as would be the case in any formal proceeding. Presumably he asked Pike and Spock their names as well, just for the record.

Number One is being puckish, perhaps enjoying a private joke at the admiral's expense.
