You could canonize novels that way, well, the broad strokes at least.
The main theme of the show is about the danger of over-fetishization.
The references make perfect sense.

Andorians and Humans know each other for a couple of centuries now, it's propably not unusual to cultural appropriate child names in between the UFP founding cultures
What did I miss about this episode? I'm looking at the scores and if we take out the person who voted 1, I'm still the lowest score. This episode just rubbed me the wrong way. You had Mariner basically ruining a relationship, I guess said relationship wasn't even real, and the way Mariner and Barb were talking about Boimler while he was unconscious just felt mean spirited to me. Also, while the Cerritos has this mission to implode the moon, you have these other hijinks ensuing and I was asking wouldn't this mission require everyone to be at their posts? I mean how does this ship function if everyone is doing their own thing.
I know people love references but I felt like there might have been too many references. However, that's basically why I gave this episode a 4. I loved the Enterprise references (The Suliban and the Trip Tucker quote) and I still think the First Contact/DS9 Grey uniforms are the quintessential Star Trek uniforms so I loved seeing them again.
I do plan to see this episode again as I've seen all these episodes at least twice, but I would like to know what to look for to make this episode seem better for me. I'm not known as a "Basher" on this forum, but looking at the reactions and the fact that I am the lowest score (Again, if we take out the 1), I must of missed something big about this one.

An Andorian who grew up in a colony where humans lived?
kirk was not a nerd and is the most hoter man in the federation history
Or it just hits people differently. My honest recommendation-Don't get hung up on the "Why" of things in entertainment. It just didn't work.but looking at the reactions and the fact that I am the lowest score (Again, if we take out the 1), I must of missed something big about this one.
I don't know. Gary Mitchell called him a "stack of books with legs." I always took that as quite nerd like commentary vs. Mitchell's more jock type persona.
Maybe she was adopted by a human family as an unnamed baby? It is the future. Xeno-adoption is probably normal.
I hope they don't try to pair Mariner and Boimler up at some point. I just hope that Mariner's concern for Boimler was simply from her shape-shifter PTSD and not jealousy.
So I guess that Rutherford and Tendi are now heroes in their respective departments since they brought back T88s for everyone.

If you are dead set on an alien name origin, perhaps it was originally spelled J'neffer? I'm thinking of a M'k'n'zy of Calhoun/Mackenzie Calhoun situation.

My recent foray in to comedies of the last decade does not inspire confidence on this one. The "Will they/won't they" tension will be played up and eventually they will...
I have to admit, I've been pleasantly surprised by this series. I have a big smile on my face at the end of each episode. It's just....fun.
I disagree when people say too many references too. They're often the highlights for me. Particularly the one featuring a certain chief petty officer.

The Vancouver was named after the Canadian city. (And the Vancouver's shuttles - Fairview, Kitsilano and Marpole - are all named after various neighborhoods in Vancouver.)
Also, the term "Parliament-class" is a reference to the Canadian government. Linky

You mean Y'ennifer?
Which is exactly how Star Trek does many alien names.
Edit:
Damn, beaten to it!
I’m just having a little fun. I don’t mean anything by it
