Decided I'd make a minor edit to the markup myself, both the one syllable nature of every Ferengi name I remember, and that while of course the names are "given to characters" by the writers, in-universe they are given to children (presumably by their parents).

* ''Franchise/StarTrek'' has naming conventions for entire planets, except usually the human ones.
** The Bajorans use their family name before their personal name.
** The Klingons have one personal name, their father's name, and then their ''house'' name. The house name is usually omitted in introductions, but the crest is worn on their metal sashes.
** Vulcans have several conventions followed:
*** They seem to only have one name, no family name.
*** Female names usually begin with T and have an apostrophe, followed by a P. Notable exceptions include: Tuvok from ''Voyager''.
*** Male names usually begin with S and do not have an apostrophe. Notable exceptions include: Saavik from movies ''II'', ''III'', and ''IV''.
** Romulans similarly tend to have only one name with no surname.
** Ferengi also tend to have only one name, generally one syllable, with no surname.
