[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] "Or if you absolutely need it to be non-American, it could be named Lee, Tchaikovsky or Sivaramakrishnan. Anything to break the stereotype that alien languages can't possibly produce a name that sounds human." There are plenty of Star Trek alien names that sound human. "Lwaxana" and "Deanna" sound pretty human, but not culture specific. "Worf" sounds like the English word "Wharf". "Kira" is an already existing name. They're all fine. But J'onn J'onzz? An alien name that just happens to sound like the most common surname in English, and one of the most common first names? Yes. Do you want a security chief called "Keef S'mif". And in any case, using comics as an example of good names is like using Sol as an example of a typical aboriginal Autralian. [/QB][/QUOTE]
