CW: Star Trek: Picard, S03E01 spoilers
So, I'm sure it's just to make use dislike #CaptainShaw right away, but in what world does a #Starfleet captain decide by what name a crew member goes?
If #SevenOfNine says her current name is Seven, then he should just call her Commander Seven, and not insist on her going by her birth name of #AnnikaHansen.When the guy on #BeverlyCrusher's ship said he was her son, I half expected him to say "hi, dad". However, I also feel like the writers only want us to think that way. I'm guessing he might be some kind of clone / genetically engineered person?
Still not fond of #RaffiMusiker, though I can't quite put my finger on it why... Something about the kind of storylines she usually is involved with?
Glad they didn't actually make her an addict who had fallen off the wagon again though.Nice seeing a reference to the #Enterprise C btw, in the form of Captain #RachelGarrett.

This is how #Niantic's game #HarryPotterWizardsUnite currently enforces their poly-nymic #namingPolicy:
https://mastodon.social/media/0Pyd858eb5E5jRP7vH0
Mind you, these name fields are *optional*, and (supposedly) aren't even stored on their servers, so it makes even less sense for them to enforce any rules for them, and not just use a single 'display name' field.

Let's see if this #Feedback submitted through #Niantic's support bot for #HarryPotter #WizardsUnite will make their #MinistryID #namingPolicy more inclusive by allowing the use of a #mononym without workarounds such as including a period.

@Algot
I'm surprised I haven't seen #mononym mentioned yet. Especially since registration forms often assume that people have a first name and last name, making it rather difficult for them to register with their preferred or even actual name.
(This was a major issue in the early days of #GooglePlus for instance, which made #nymwars a rather trending topic.)
