Just observing that Worf's "full name" is yet another Klingon/Viking parallel.

In the course of some SCA research, I've noted that a Viking/Norse name is typically composed of a personal name and a patronymic. Norse typically also acquired some "bynames" during life (like "One Eye" or "Red Beard") that would fit between the personal name and the patronym.

Klingons apparently use the same naming convention.

"A Vik...err, Kilingon we will go..."

*gets a cookie for Ted*
Thank you for pointing out the painfully obvious Ted, I might have missed it otherwise, enjoy your cookie.

I might ad that if you cant see how TNG Klingons were lifted right out of a English prayerbook, where they lament the evil and barbaric 'Northmen' , I exile you to the outer plain of history knowledge hell, right next to Kenny G and Noam Chomsky. Have a nice day, and please come again.

As a person with Viking ancestors I find the Klingon-Viking parallel disgraceful and stupid.

To prevent further errors it's Mogh not Mog.

Actually, it was this way surnames started.

But Mog is funnier.
