| Aug 5, 2016 at 9:49 | comment | added | tardigrade | It sounds logical but I notice today's blog post (scifi.blogoverflow.com/2016/08/…) mentions Whoopi Goldberg stating that Roddenberry named the character after Texas Guinan, a flamboyant NY restauranteur (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Guinan). This was also in the Wikipedia page since 2002. Sounds like it's just a coincidence. Which is a shame; I prefer your version. | |

I made that comment about a year ago, and I don't remember making it, but I think my point was that, while it is possible - perhaps even likely - that the name is an intentional tip of the hat to Haitian culture, it would be better if we could prove such a link. | |
