1. That is his last name.
It's also his first name.

Vulcan names only need one word in them.

21. It's Greenburg. Spock Greenburg. I went to high school with him in Miami....
He was very nerdy but a good student.

The ears were fake. He though it helped him get girls.

6. So what happens in the wedding ceremony...
when the priest says, "I now pronounce you man and wife"? Do they respond by saying, "No you can't! It's unpronounceable!"?

3. He has a name but you couldn't pronounce it.
That's what he told Kirk.

20. But I think it translates as...
..."you pointy-eared hobgoblin!"

4. From Wikipedia:
Vulcans have been identified in the Trek canon by only one name; however, the TOS episode "This Side of Paradise" has a scene in which Leila Kalomi says to Spock, "You never told me if you had another name", to which Spock replies, "You couldn't pronounce it." In "Journey to Babel," Amanda, Spock's mother, admits that she finally learned to pronounce her husband's family name after much difficulty, and only "after a fashion." Continuity writer Dorothy Fontana established Spock's family name in about 1968 as Xtmprsqzntwlfd. At the time, this was universally accepted by fan writers, some of whom went to considerable lengths to explain its linguistic elements.

14. "Leila Kalomi says to Spock, "You never told me if you had another name"...
"...to which Spock replies, "You couldn't pronounce it."

I think he just didn't want her stalking him after the inevitable break up.

5. Spock.
His first name is never given, other than that mentioned once it is "unpronouncable by humans".

11. Jonez?
In "Ishmael" by Barbara Hambly she writes that it is S'chn T'gai.

Careful you don't sprain your tounge. Tounge splints suck.

12. Spock is his last name.
That's why they always call him Mr. Spock.

His first name is Jerry. Which for some reason is unpronouncable in the 23rd century.

19. His last name is Spock
Which is why he was always called Dr. Spock



His first name was Benjamin, which is unpronouncable in the 23rd century for some reason ... probably sounds like a baby burping
:rofl:
