You've been listening to the wrong persons, even George Takei says sulu's name is Walter Hikaru Sulu and since there hasn't been anything really against that, well, that's pretty well set from here on out. A little hint: don't listen to everybody, just those of us that more or less know our facts, quite simply because most people on this net are just novice trekkies (or trekkers). You can see it just by looking at the type of traffic is sent. p.s. Uhura has a first and middle name. I can never remember which one is which, but this is my favorite version: Nyoyta Penda Uhura.

I was at the Baltimore convention in January, and Takei said that Hikaru is the APPROVED first name...he also said that any trivia dealing with the characters must first be approved by Roddenberry. Hikaru has the needed approval. About Uhura's name, Nyoyta, is approved, however, I don't know about the middle name. I don't know the spelling of it, but I do know that it means 'freedom.' -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How can you eat that?

Gene Roddenberry has the final word on anything dealing with Star Trek characters.
