First and last names of minor characters

Does anyone think spelling variations such as Garison/Garrison, Magen/Megan, O'Neil/O'Neill, Radha/Rahda, R. M. Merik/Merrick, Zahara/Zahra and Zefram/Zephram Cochrane should be added to the list?
 
Isn't there a page on Memory Alpha/Beta that basically does this? An index with the crew member names, and links to their individual entries (if applicable)?

If not, then this looks like the start of one. :)

This adds unknown first/last names, as well as unintentional aliases selected by those who did not know their real name (so if a character was unnamed in seasons 1-4, but gets a last name in season 5, but also has a non-canon name from this book and that comic that preceded season 5)
 
@Extrocomp I added one entry to the list. Sela's Romulan father was given the name Volskiar in Vulcan's Heart. This name has continued into the rest of the Litverse.
 
There are a few names that I haven't been able to find sources for.

According to Memory Beta, Zefram Cochrane's middle name is Levar and his mother's first name is Lisa.

According to Memory Beta, Hikaru Sulu's mother's first name is Yoshiko in the Kelvin timeline.

Memory Beta used to say that Kathryn Janeway's middle name is Elizabeth.

Does anyone know where these names are from?

Well, the character was initially named Elizabeth Janeway. I think it was changed to Nicole when Genevieve Bujold was cast, and Kathryn when Kate Mulgrew was cast. I'm not sure what tie-in posited Elizabeth as her middle name, though. Although I can rule out Mosaic (because I thought it might be and did a Google Books text search with no hits).
 
If you're searching a single book, it's best to use Amazon.com's Look Inside feature, since Google Books sometimes fails to find a match. For example, searching for "Heather MacDougal" in The Buried Age will result in 0 matches on Google Books.
 
Just in case that was the issue, I just did a search over my Kindle copy of Mosaic, and it didn't turn up anything either.
 
I've been wondering, has Spock's full name S'chn T'gai Spock ever been spoken out loud by any character? And do we know any other Vulcan family names?
