Protagonists & Antagonists names

[trappedslider]

A name that had such a cadence that they used a mild variant for Karl N Sung, creator of Data, Lore, and Beta.

I was under the impression the creator of Data and Lore and B-4 was named Noonien Soong

As for the inspiration for the actual names : During World War II, Roddenberry had a friend named Kim Noonien Singh; after the war Kim disappeared, and Gene used his name for some characters in the Star Trek series (Khan Noonien Singh from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) and Noonien Soong from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987)) in hopes that Kim might recognize his name and contact him.


I guess that's better than hiring someone to go look for him....lol

Yeah, I don't spell trek names well.

Kahn's full name was first given in the TOS episode "Space Seed".
