Are you a true trekkie? You want to name your baby after a Star Trek character. It's possible to do this without consigning your child to a life of teasing. For instance, you shouldn't name him Spock. But I have found quite a few names from Star Trek Into Darkness that make pretty fantastic baby names. Take a look.
Girls
ZoeDominican Zoe Saldana plays Uhura in Star Trek Into Darkness. She's not a big Trekkie herself, having never seen Star Trek before she auditioned for the role, but she must might be forever linked with the series now.
Carol
Caroline has been a popular name for a decade or so. Maybe it's time to bring back the more simple "Carol." Carol is a Star Trek character played by Bibi Besch in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and it's played by Alice Eve in the new film.
Alice
Speaking of Alice, this baby name is experiencing a serious revival. It's light, pretty, and vintage-y. Alice Eve, who plays Carol in Star Trek Into Darkness, is from London, England but spent part of her childhood in Los Angeles.
Boys
Kirk
How can you have a list of Star Trek baby names without Kirk. Sure, it's not used as much as it was a generation ago, but Kirk is a good, solid name, maybe even a hero name. Chris Pine plays Kirk in Star Trek Into the Darkness, and I bet he enjoyed being called "Kirk" for a while.
Zachary
I told you before, it's not a good idea to name your baby Spock. That's a surefire way to get him to hate Star Trek. But you could name him Zachary after Zachary Quinto who plays Spock in the latest movie. Zachary Quinto survived a serious car accident at age 16, and since then he's made quite a film career for himself.
Chekov
Yes, it's a Russian surname, but wouldn't it make a great and original baby name? Played by Anton Yelchin in Into Darkness, Chekov is a Cold War character that has lasted into the new milennium. If you're a literature fan, it could crossover into Anton Chekhov, giving the name added depth.
What other Star Trek names would make good baby names?
