Spock's official name: S’chn T’Gai

[Nerys Myk]

I always thought that it was the surname that was unpronounceable.

Depends on who you ask.

LEILA: And this is for my good? Do you mind if I say I still love you? You never told me if you had another name, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: (wiping away her tears) You couldn't pronounce it.

KIRK: Mrs. Sarek, I just don't understand.
AMANDA: Amanda. I'm afraid you couldn't pronounce the Vulcan name.
KIRK: Can you?
AMANDA: After a fashion, and after many years of practice. Shall we continue the tour? My husband did request i

Other names represent the clan name and family name?

So Spock is to S’chn T’gai as Tiberius is to James?
Sorry if I’m being dense.

We really don't know.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

All we know about Spock's name right now is exactly the same as people knew in 1967: there's more to it than just Spock, but it's hard to pronounce. The poster was lying to us all.

Yep. When Amanda corrects McCoy who had called her "Mrs Sarek".

Vulcan naming customs are alien.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Humanity has many different naming customs. Don't see why Vulcans would be any different.

So, are the names on the posters actually wrong or did it get out before it should have?

Someone in promotions was obviously having some fun. Pics of those wrong posters have been circulating like mad, giving extra free publicity to SNW. And even to Pocket Books?

So, maybe the inclusion of the JJ-Prise (small ship in the far background) was intentional - Paramount marketing decided to Troll hard core fans who knew they would go over every inch...

That's as plausible as any of the other myriad things we've seen in the past.

They apparently 'read' us like an open book.

Which poster, please?

So they are official fakes?

 

[Noname Given]

Which poster, please?

Umm...Each of the posters declaring their names:

Zoom in a bit and you can easily tell, it's the JJ-Prise and not the Disco-Prise in the background.

It looks like a caricature of an Enterprise, not any one specific ship.

 

[Noname Given]

Thanks @Noname Given. I hadn't noticed. Those wide pylons and bulbous collectors are obvious now. Not sure how I feel about a crossover with the JJverse but I suppose it was bound to happen. Fingers crossed...

To me, the obvious JJ-Prise elements were the 'Fatter' Warp Nacelles and the larger white Saucer section. But yeah, it's definitely not the 1701 in the SNW Trailers or from the end of S1 or all of S2 of Star Trek: Discovery.

No, it is very clearly the Kelvin Connie

Very clearly. The nacelles are identical down to the top fins, they just coloured the bussards red, the saucer has the ridge going down the back from the bridge.
