The H in McCoy's name obviously stands for the same thing as it does in the name of that other famous Doctor: John H. Watson.

According to Dorothy Sayers, it's "Hamish," the Scottish form of James...

Based on how Karl Urban looks... Leonard "How You Doing" McCoy.

no i think they are right its either Horatio or Herbert..

I think it's the same name used in Jesus H. Christ (which I say quite a bit when I read comments from certain posters).
