Spock's official name: S’chn T’Gai

Yes but look at the poster itself:lol:
which turns out to be a mistake XD

Why has the thread title not been fixed by a mod? I don't see a misspelling in the Trek Core article.

How do we know she changed her name after being married?
I doubt she was born as Mrs. Sarek.

I assume the family name is the first name, not unlike my Bajoran brethren. S’chn T’Gai Amanda. Xtmprszntwlfd Amanda. Amanda H'GMee
I'm not saying you're wrong.

It's just that Kirk had just called her "Mrs. Sarek" at which point she invited him to call her "Amanda" as he couldn't pronounce the Vulcan name.

It's unfortunately ambiguous which name she's referring to. I'd always assumed it was the Vulcan for "Sarek," but it could be her given name in place of Amanda; she might have changed her whole name upon getting married, not just her family name.

And that's not even getting into the fact that Kirk called her "Mrs. Sarek."
 
Perhaps the same reason folks call Kira "Nerys",
Heh ... I rather doubt her mother called her "Nerys".

Though, (most) angry mothers are known for making their point known by using full names. :techman:
(or when multiple siblings are involved, running the the entire list)



Did you mean first name or given name?

Honestly, I have no fukin' idea.

I think she does call her Nerys in the weird episode where Kira goes back in time and finds out her mom was Dukat’s consort.

IIRC, Kira had "Nerys" on her baseball jersey when everyone else had family names.
"Kira" and "Nerys" in different shots, actually. I guess someone in the costume department didn't know that, while it comes last, Nerys isn't her "last name," and it was only caught and changed once everyone saw the jersey. Leeta's jersey also only said "Leeta," because she never had a family name established (I remember some source suggesting that she'd been a war orphan and it was her choice to have a mononym because she didn't know her family).
 
So if this is his first name...what is Spock?His family name?
Is the Vulcan ambassador Sarek Spock or wtf?

That's really cool, I never heard that. Great idea that adds a lot of depth to the character.
