First, about my handle,
"jSarek." Many have asked where this handle comes from, and why
there
is a "j" stuck out in front of the name of a Vulcan from Star Trek.
Sarek,
father of Mr. Spock and esteemed Federation ambassador, is my favorite
character from the various Trek properties. Originally, when I decided
to take his name for my handle on the defunct Star Trek CCG Discussion
Board
(now
the Star
Trek CCG Gameplay Board), I added the "j" from my own first name to
preemptively distinguish myself from anyone there already named
"Sarek."
Even after I found that no one had claimed the "j-less" version of the
handle (at the time, anyway; one has since come and gone from the
boards),
I kept the "j" as a way to distinguish myself. I am not Sarek, the
cooly
logical, eminently diplomatic Vulcan; although I like him, I am not like
him.
If you are trying to pronounce it, the "j" is NOT silent. It is an integral part of the name (and who has ever heard of a silent initial "j" anyway?), and so the name should be pronounced as "Jay-Sarek" or "Juh-Sarek." As if pronunciation of an online handle is so important in the first place.
