Memory Alpha says "unknown performer."

He must not have been a member of the Screen Actors Guild.

True. As newborns, they aren’t even eligible for SAG yet. It’s a process, and you don’t actually have to/get to join the union until they’ve worked a number of projects first. This was Joy’s only union work so it was never necessary. I’m not sure if that had any bearing on her name in the credits, but it’s a viable theory!
 
Regarding Jenna Vaughn:

Memory Alpha said:
She is the only ''actress'' ever to play the role of Spock, as well as the only performer to play both Spocks, as the timeline split would not have occurred yet.

You can tell Joy that she, however, is the second actress to play any variation of Kirk, along with Sandra Smith, who played prime universe Kirk in the original series episode "Turnabout Intruder", when her character Janice Lester had switched bodies with him. (If she didn't already know.)
 
Some of the guys at comicon were explaining that to us, but she’s 11, so her eyes glazed over and she wandered off mid-conversation to go meet the anime artists a few rows over. LOL
Fascinating to me, and will be for her when she gets older and understands the awesomeness of Star Trek history. For now, she’s your typical tween girl with unicorns, cosplay and Broadway on the brain.
