In the one of first episodes of DS9 season 6 there was two admirals who Sisko had to run his plans past, a Human male and a Vulcan female. the male was called Admiral Coburn and the female was called admiral Sitak. Not sure if it helps but I thought that it was relevant.

Well I'm not sure but I don't think they would name a ship after a living admiral. Perhaps it was named for one of her ancestors.

The episode with Admiral Sitak was "Favor the Bold," right before "Sacrifice of Angels." Perhaps her mother or father had the same name and was an important ambassador or something?

I always thought that was strange too, but I also am pretty sure that the Vulcan female admiral in "Favor the Bold" was named Sitak -- the same as a ship in the next episode.
It does seem strange that a ship would be named for a living admiral, but then, isn't the US Navy launching the USS Ronald Reagan sometime soon? He's still alive...

TPTB seem to always have name themes going on too.. (im thinking how challenging it is to come up with a million made up words all the time)
Ro's name was Laren, a couple weeks later it was transposed to become Neral in Unification.. there was a fascination for phonetic variants of Chakotay for a few weeks on both DS9 and TNG with Admiral Chekote or whatever.. so it probably just that those were the sounds that were stuck in the producer's heads for a while.

How do Vulcan parents choose names for their children? What's the logical way to go about that task?

*random thought* perhaps birth is another one of those times the Vulcans are unable to be 100% logical. Makes sense, because there is a biological need for the mother (and perhaps the father) to be emotionally conncected to their offspring.

Is there really - with Vulcans I mean? And what about the act itself? I always thought some feelings had to be involved in that.
Are Vulcans really THAT unemotional as to see it just as an act of preserving their race?
