Jun 29, 2017 at 23:55 comment added Carsten S “Annika” signals Scandinavia much more than Germany. It's the name of Pippi's friend, for example.
Jan 19, 2017 at 23:28 comment added Tim Wharf? Lolwut? Worf. He's an alien. Not human at all. Though rumour has it he is ribbed for her pleasure.
Jan 19, 2017 at 23:25 comment added Alen M. I believe everyone could find this interesting: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annica_Hansen ;)
Sep 21, 2016 at 3:26 comment added O. R. Mapper I'm not sure that "the message that all human differences of the past are history" would be best conveyed by having characters exhibit "some stereotypical German attributes".
Sep 19, 2016 at 12:40 comment added BCdotWEB In non-canon her grandmother is described as Normegian: "By the time that she was five, Annika was living with her parents on Heronius II. She often spoke to her Norwegian maternal grandfather via subspace.". Her mother as well: memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Erin_Hansen .

Apr 10, 2014 at 5:59 comment added FuxieDK Hansen is a Danish name. It's quite common inNorway too, but's because Norway was part of Denmark until ~200 years ago..
Apr 9, 2014 at 11:30 comment added Einer @user14111: I'm almost certain that it is. As a said: The name isn't very popular in Germany today. But if you'd introduce yourself as Magnus in Germany no-one would say "What?! How do you spell that?"

Apr 9, 2014 at 11:25 comment added user14111 The current world chess champion is a Norwegian named Magnus. I wonder if that name is more popular in Norway than in Germany?
Apr 9, 2014 at 11:18 comment added Einer @GorchestopherH: Admitted, they are popular there too - I guess. But I can hardly count how many Anikas I know and the same goes for Hansen. It feels like pure chance that I don't know an "Anika Hansen". [I come from (northern) Germany]
Apr 9, 2014 at 11:14 comment added Gorchestopher H Strictly speaking on the name "Anika Hansen", the name pair trends to be of Dutch or Norwegian origins.
Apr 9, 2014 at 11:03 comment added Einer Not in Star-Trek but for the audience. I always thought Star Trek had these political dimension: A black/female captain, a Japanese officer... I thought it to be the message: Hey we can all live in peace. Not that the characters in-universe were aware that someone from Russia is on the bridge...
Apr 9, 2014 at 10:55 comment added bitmask I always thought it was supposed to be a Scandinavian name rather than German. But I don't suppose these arbitrary distinctions have any relevance in the ST culture.
