Up until awhile ago, all male Vulcan names started wuth S, ended with k and had 3 letters in between. Female Vulcan names began with T' and had a single syllable following, not necessarily 3 letters (e.g. T'Pring). Saavik was brought up as something of a slave well outside of Vulcan society. Ordinary Vulcan conventions do not apply to her. But, as she is a member of Starfleet, their conventions do apply to her, such as the title "mister" for any officer, used most frequently when a subordinate officer is being addressed. -- "The more they overthink the plumbin', the easier 'tis to stop up the drain."

Stonn begins with 's' and ends with 'k'?

There's no rule that says all male Vulcan names begin with "s" and
end with "k". In "Amok Time", wasn't T'Pring's "boyfriend" named
Stonn?

Curious that Vulcan names should follow these exacting patterns even
after translation into English. What do you suppose the odds against
that would be, Mr. Spawque?
