Dear Sara,
Do you know what Spock’s full name is?
Phil Einhorn
Yes Phil, it is S’chn-T’ Gaii Spock, son of S’chn-T’ Gaii Sarek (of Skon and Solkar) of Vulcan. This first appeared in the Star Trek book ISHMAEL by Barbara Hambley. Presumbably humans can’t pronounce it. The book was a crossover between Trek and Here Come the Brides. In the book Spock has amnesia and is posing as a nephew of Aaron Stemple. Stemple was played by Mark Leonard on Here Come the Brides and Mark Leonard played Sarek, Spock’s father, on Star Trek!

I remember him talking about it at more than one Sci-Fi convention and he also wrote about it in his autobiography
