Star Trek (original series)

The Characters

James T. Kirk = Tsk! I’m a jerk?
This is the best that Galen could find in a short name with 2 K's and a J. William Shatner once lived in Galen's neighborhood in Toronto.

Leonard McCoy = Male doc crony
= Comely candor
A good one for Bones. Crony means friend.

Montgomery Scott = C’mon me grotty sot!

A tough name with repeat letters and a shortage of vowels. 'Grotty sot' means wretched drunkard.

Lieutenant Uhura = Uh, tie a lunar tune
= Tune in Earth luau

Pavel Chekov = Pavlov cheek

Hikaru Sulu = I sulk, Uhura
Interesting! In a next to impossible name, the key word that allows for the creation of a sensible anagram is the name of a fellow crewmate on the bridge.

= Phaser the clinic

Christopher Pike = Trek ship hero pic
= The rich skip rope
= Rip rocket ship, eh?

Sarek = Rakes

An anagram that suggests a reflection upon his days on the Star Trek set.

Nichelle Nichols = She’ll hone clinic
= No clichés in hell
So many repeating letters make her name difficult.

Leonard Nimoy
Dry moon alien
A nod in my role
Nearly in mood
Noonday miler
The first one is perfect! Vulcan is a hot and dry planet.

Slim alien wrath
Hew ill Martians
Will Smith Arena
'Slim alien wrath' has been found by others. Galen spotted Will Smith's name in Shatner's.

George Takei = Gee! A trek – I go.
The ubiquitous word 'trek' pops up again. This is a pretty good find for a challenging name.

Deep Space Nine

The Characters
