Yes, they can avoid it for a brief appearance here, but if the Pike spin-off happens, as many hope and expect, then it needs to be resolved. And in such a situation I hope they just give her some perfectly normal name and forgo any weird nonsense explanations that there has been floating in the novels. Pike may almost always calls her 'Number One', subordinates might usually just call her 'Commander', but there doesn't need to be any inane mystery related to the name. She has a name and in situations where it is needed, it is used.Is there some pressing need for her to get a name, that no matter how inventive it is, will loudly be shouted down by some portion of the fanbase? I have no problem with letting it go until it is necessary (possible Pike spinoff).
Hunter all but did…

They've been pulling stuff from Trek Novels left and right all season, my guess is that They will probably go with something akin to or just Una.
(or just continue to call her Number One)

Give him a break, he lost his yeoman and the new one hasn't had a chance to spit shine those boots.Polish your boots, Captain. Sheesh.
You're an officer.
He keeps that on his TV.Sounds like somebody wore their Captain's hat too tightly.
I'm still trying to get by the "Spit Shining" yoeman.That's for when it's Cyber Doody Time.

Why stop there? Go full Catch 22 and name her Lieutenant Lieutenant Lieutenant.I'd love it if her first name was literally Lieutenant
Maybe her last name is actually Commander. It's bound to become really confusing when she's promoted to Lieutenant Commander.Why stop there? Go full Catch 22 and name her Lieutenant Lieutenant Lieutenant.
