What's in a Name One

He loves his name. This is a relatively recent development.

Prior to this, he hated his name. Avoiding it was a large part of his past.

Thomas, Terence, Todd, Trelawney, Terrell, Tremaine, Thornton;

Talbot, Throckmorton, Tully, Templeton, Timkins, Tellerthwaite.

Anything to not say his name.

Anything to not use the T.

Anything to not be that Kirk.

Now, he is the only one who says it.

And though he is the only one to say it, he loves his name.

'Hailing frequencies open'?

Patch me through.

Oh, yes.

"This is Captain James T. Kirk…"
