I suspect they'll try and shoehorn in an established character name from the 24th century believing it'll give STD some sort of continuity/credibility with the rest of the franchise
You, uh, may want to see a doctor about that STD. Meanwhile, DSC has plenty of credibility and is a worthy entry in a franchise that never seems to overly concern itself with things like continuity.
What if they never give her a name?
Same here.
Bridge is short for bridget...
I know the discovery novel desperate hours gave it as “Una” but I wonder if “The Enterprise War” will keep that name or if JJM will give us a different one. Or if she’ll just be known as “Number One”.
For the record, the "Una" name dates back to the Legacies trilogy Dave Mack, Dayton Ward, Kevin Dilmore, and I wrote a few years ago for Trek's 50th Anniversary. As I recall, Dave came up with the name, although it first appeared in my novel just because I happened to write Book One of the trilogy. Dave then reused in his DISCO book.
*watches episode, is most excited to learn Number One's name*
Well that was disappointing.

To be fair, they never promised they were going to reveal her name. That was just us, speculating and wondering.
I find it strange they sticking with the throw-away line from The Cage that she's only a Lieutenant. If the XO of the Enterprise is only a Lieutenant, why does it have a full O6 Captain. And what about the other officers on board who outrank her, like Engineer Naan, who is a Commander?
She has Lieutenant Commander stripes
Spock was also a Lieutenant Commander in TOS... I think?
Early on he is identified as a Lieutenant Commander while wearing Commander's stripes. I figure the promotion paperwork just got lost in the galactic mail.
I might be wrong but I think the ranks in the Cage were much different than the rest of the series.
Ah you're right.
No of course not. I just assumed they couldn't feature her without dropping a name.
I also thought she'd be there for more than 5 minutes
She will show up again later this season.No of course not. I just assumed they couldn't feature her without dropping a name.
I also thought she'd be there for more than 5 minutes
Anyways, if the Enterprise rank insignia works the same as the Kelvin Timeline, Number One is a Lieutenant Commander.
There was a character in Stargate Atlantis who for ages didn't have a first name and then later on they mentioned it in an episode. So maybe it'll be like that with her and we'll find out her name later.
