[ Don't call me tiny... ]

According to George Takei, the name Hikaru was chosen by Roddenberry.
I think it's safe to take this as canon. (Said at a lecture at State
University of NY @ Buffalo, 3 March 1984)

Also, someone mentioned an animated explaining something about the
cat people. ('"Bem" or "Jem"'..)  There was an animated named "BEM"
so don't rule that out!

The animated STAR TREK called BEM also had Capt. Kirks full name in it
many times. It was of course James Tiberius Kirk.
