c/tenforward · by jobbies@lemmy.zip · 90dIs it 'Worf' like 'Cher' or is his full name 'Worf Roshenko"? If Alexander's surname is Roshenko then surely his dad is the same? In that case, why isn't it 'Commander/Lt Roshenko"? 58 points · 29 comments · view on lemmy.world

Bit of a mouthfull tbh. Starfleet probably went with 'worf' cos the surname field was 25 chars max

Centuries in the future and government is still using a 25 character maximum for string data. Actually yeah, that tracks.

Siddig el-Tahir el-Fadil el-Siddig Abdurrahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim el-Mahdi. No wonder he switched to Alexander Siddig

So the isolinear chip stores a lot of data...
Hell, Enterprise D's 3 Core computers we suspect to hold ~483,840,000,000 TB to 3,870,720,000,000 TB depending on which canon reference you use.
They could store Worf's full name.

It's not so much that the computers are incapable of storing it. Turns out the Starfleet records system just depends on a schema an intern implemented at the UN in 1997, and no one's had time to migrate it since then.

Yeah but then they have to fax it to corporate, and with such a long name, it's such a bother.....

ZFS could manage that. You might have to split his name over a few files though :/

BTRFS and immutability might be better, given how unwieldy it is and how often it changes.

but that raises further questions. Why isn't it "Alexander son of Worf, house of Martok, house of Rozhenko"?
Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org · 8 pts · 90d
Because Alexander rejected his Klingon birthright.
Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 90d
this continues to raise further questions. When? At what age is he allowed to do that? Source?
Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org · 3 pts · 90d
When he turned 18.

As of now I'm deciding that the Rozhenkos are from Vinci, Tuscany

The warrior formerly known as Worf, now just the symbol of a Bat'Leth

valar@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 90d
Alexander identifies more with his human upbringing, so he uses a more human name

Fair but he's missing out on 'Alexander, son of Worf, house of none as he keeps getting shuttled about, bane of all that is interesting and fun... "
Nomad@infosec.pub · 3 pts · 89d
Maybe its a warrior name you get when you pass into manhood. Nom de guerre... Son just has not earned his?

I suspect you are correct.
