Vulcan Names and Canon
By Kirk Archer

In the wonderful book "The Making of Star Trek" published in 1968, Gene Roddenberry was quite specific in his definition of what constituted Vulcan names. In Roddenberry's view, all Vulcan names would have five letters and begin with an 'S.' Hence names such as SPOCK, SAREK, STANN, SAVIK, etc. The only exceptions would be high-ranking persons of importance, such as T'Pau. I know this is a minor gripe, but it's just another abandonment of canon as set up by Roddenberry. Would it have been so difficult to come up with names to fit in with Gene's ideals? Probably not, but then again, canon has been pretty much ignored over the past few years anyway. Just my opinion.
