I don’t know whether it was shot in English, but it was more than dubbed in Vulcan as in TMP. Effect was used to make it impossible (really difficult?) for humans to reproduce.
Spock's official name: S’chn T’Gai
- Thread starter NCC-73515
- Start date
In that case, perhaps the "Edward" originated with Diane Duane, and Bill Rotsler used it from there? Rotsler did consulting with Bjo Trimble when the names were being finalised. I remember an interview where Diane was sticking to her guns after ST III gave McCoy the "H." in canonical dialogue.
It was definitely shot in English. The added captions deliberately do not follow the words as they appeared in the script.
Check Diane's acknowledgment page for The Wounded Sky. Next to Rotsler's name, she has him saying in a parenthetical statement ("His middle name is Edward. You want his serial number?")
Rotsler's book was published in December, 1982. Duane's was published in December, 1983.

Oh, son of a gun. Look at that:
(It goes on for a bit, but I think the "you" was included, to account for the suffix Spock puts after Saavik.)
I mean, it's not the worst idea in the world. Throws the old-school fans a bone, saves you from having to come up with something yourself.
That's his imp name.
If Spock says it backwards, he disappears to the Fifth Dimension for ninety days.
"Scan it again," Scotty was heard to say to Spock.
It's not canon unless it's on screen. And it's said to be unpronounceable. Thus if it's pronounced on screen it's not unpronounceable.
And that's to be expected as the printed material isn't also 100% consistent with what names are given to characters. Several used Penda for Uhura (though Nyota was used far more often even before I Stopped reading them), as an example. I don't even what to thank what the various comic licenses have given to crew.
Of course since that's not what is said in the episode, your post makes no sense.It's not canon unless it's on screen. And it's said to be unpronounceable. Thus if it's pronounced on screen it's not unpronounceable.
I guess we can add "unpronounceable name" to the Star Trek Myths and Misconceptions list.

Would it bother fans if the writers made the Enterprise to be named after someone, as their last name?
Bob Enterprise, maybe? Or Gene Enterprise?

Ulysses Stanley Steemer Enterprise. Sounds like someone who would boldly go where the grout is.
Lolwhut.
Part of me wondered if it was a publicity thing, especially in the case of Spock which has gone viral since he's an iconic character. Wasn't expecting more than to see it on a computer readout but REALLY wasn't expecting "yeah sorry ignore that"
