Why Number One?

Or how to pronounce his first name. Which kind of [raises] the question, what is "Spock," a middle name?

To be fair, Leila asks if he had "another" name. Spock wasn't specified as his first or last.

I figure his deflection was him just screwing with her. It's really "Carl."

Dorothy Fontana, in her Pike-era based novel, Vulcan's Glory, has Number One reveal to Pike that she comes from a planet of genetically engineered women, and that she was literally the Number one female intellect of her generation

Which is essentially the personal character background that Majel Barrett created for herself when preparing for the role. She mentioned it in a "Starlog" interview, IIRC.

And DC gives the planet as Ilyria.

Wow. I pulled that out of my ass & I was right? Huh. Well, squirrels, nuts...

. . . Early Voyages say her last name is Robbins and her first name begins "Eu--."

Eudora? Eugenia? Eugenie? Eula? Eulalia? Eulalie? Eunice? Euphemia? Eurydice? Eustacia?

Euterpe.

And as for Spock's first name, tout le monde knows it's "Harold".

I thought Spock's last name was ``Columbo''.

Because she runs the Village.

Columbo's first name was Lieutenant!

Actually, it was Frank. We found that out from Janeway when she was married to him. That was before she was Major Rayner Fleming.

Because she runs the Village.

But where was her ape mask, then?
