Guess Number One's name

I've not read the novel, but people in Trek lit are saying the Burnham/Spock stuff doesn't work with the latest episode's revelations about their past.

 

I said that earlier but Digital disagreed.

 

Christine Chapel

 

Auntie Grizelda.

 

Exactly.

 

Number One...of Five.

Or Fred.

 

Romana.

Could they even do that? Or would Gene's estate put the kibosh on it?

 

I was going to write a joke about Gene copywriting his own wife's name, but he'd never do that. He'd just claim that her name was part of the lyrics to a jingle that he'd written and take half the royalties.

 

Still, though, it probably wouldn't be a good idea. Unless they asked the Roddenberry family for permission first.

 

Well Eugene is a listed producer, so they have an in. I like Leigh Hudec, personally. It's the fictional name created by the originator of the character. I'm surprised it hasn't shown up as her name in fiction before, seems like a natural.

 

Either let it remain a mystery, or Valentina, in honor of Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman to fly in space.

 

The USS Enterprise Officer's Manual fan-published manual from the 1980's called her "Leigh Chapel"

 

It's not fictional at all. She was born Majel Leigh Hudec.

 

Nah - it's Troi Anna-Lux.

 

Morgan Primus.

 

Prima Numera

 

You know, I just went through the whole thead (including my one post) - and I'm sorry, I was wrong above, it's:

Numero Uno

 

Sticking only to novels:
N/A (unpronounceable) -- Vulcan's Glory (Pocket Books, 1989), by DC Fontana
N/A (unpronounceable) -- The Rift (Pocket Books, 1991), by Peter David
Hudec -- The Children of Kings (Pocket Books, 2010), by Dave Stern
Una -- Captain to Captain (Pocket Books, 2016), by Greg Cox

Una Hudec?

I think they'll come up with a totally new name. According to Vulcan's Glory, she's from the planet Ilyria.
