When did you find out you were a trekkie?

Recommended Posts

I guess it was when I started naming my pets after ST characters. 

 

Please tell me I am not the only one to do that.  :D

You are definitely not alone. I had a female cat named T'Pring. Pointed ears, get it?

I started watching Voyager a couple of years ago and got hooked. I quickly started watching the other Treks (except TOS, which I watch only occasionally). For the first year I watched them my sister gave me that weird look. After that she started watching and became a bigger trekkie then I am! (she is mostly into Voyager though. You may know her here as MaQuIs_PrInCeSs. She found this site and told me about it. I usually just watched the show and went to the official site, but I'm glad she encouraged me to sign up because this site is really cool.

 

In case Alterego or another admin is reading this, theres something kinda weird with my sister's (MaQuIs_PrInCeSs) account. Sometimes when she tries to log in it won't let her. I would appreciate if you would look into that.

No your not, my sis has a dog called Leeta, she has a new puppy but her partner wouldn't let her call it seven(spoilsport] so she called it Molly after chief o'brien's daughter instead

I knew when I spent hours trying to find one ep of TNG... However my dad would always watch st when I was little and I would sit on his lap but growing up the only thing I ever really watched were Disney movies and gymnastics on TV.. It wasn't untill last summer that I even relised TNG was on TV...

When I got hooked on Voyager......It was through Voyager that I began looking at reruns of TNG, and the original series. To me Voyager was very powerful. :look:

OMG, don't visit this thread for a while and look what happens!

 

ok, the story...i was 5 month along with my hubbie's and my first child and we knew it was a girl. A freind at our work place pulled us over and told us that she had a name from Star Trek that she loved but her husband would never let her use, as we were both Trekkers, we just had to use it.

It was Kestra (Deanna Troi's sister, shown in DarkPage) I looked at my hubbie and he looked and me and he said "I like it," the rest is history.

 

P.S. Kestra loves that SHE is in a Star Trek episode (the child in it is blonde and so is MY Kestra)

SHe's five and also loves Data. SHe insists that she is going to marry him when she grows up and my husband loves to catch the look on my face when she teased me about this.

 

I did not know that everyone was asking until Takara PMed me that i had a crowd waiting. :look:

That's an awesome name Lessa. Thanks everyone, for letting me know I'm not alone when it comes to naming my pets (and people...Lessa :look: ) after Star Trek characters.

I really wanted to name my daughter Belanna but when I suggested it to my husband he looked at me like I'd suddenly grown a second head or something. So that was out of the question. smilies6.gif

JLP, I don't think it REALLY matters what you call your girlfriend/boyfriend/hubby/partner. I mean honestly, who cares? What difference does it ACTUALLY make?

Partner? Who says that! :laugh: Normally, people just say boy/girl friend, fiance, or spouse... Partner? :laugh:

Lots of people use the term partner and variations (life partner, etc). I prefer it myself. When you hit a certain age it gets difficult to say boyfriend/girlfriend with a straight face.
