I know what you're thinking and the answer is yes, yes my name actually is Kira - that's what's on my birth certificate and yes, yes I was named for Kira Nerys from Deep Space Nine. My parents are both huge Trekkies (they met at a convention!) I think it's literally in my genes and I've loved Star Trek for as long as I can remember.
I have three siblings - Julian, Benjamin and Jadzia - but I'm the only one who's inherited the Star Trek love. The boys don't mind, they enjoy it but Zia, the one with probably the most obvious Star Trek name... oh Zia hates anything to do with it.
I mean I went through a stage in my teens where I was kind of embarrassed by it but luckily there was Keira Knightley so I just started spelling my name like she does, or at one point the Irish way Ciara. But then I got to a point where I'd stopped worrying about what was cool, accepted I was never going to be like the rest of my peers, and just embraced who I am. It was amazing how much happier it made me, which shouldn't really be surprising!
Deep Space Nine is probably my favourite Trek. It was my First, obviously we're all named for the characters and there's just something about it. It's filled with love for Bashir and Jadzia and Kira, and Bashir/Garak and Jadzia/Kira.
TOS is cringe but enjoyable, and I'm definitely all about the Kirk/Spock.
TNG is class, probably my second favourite - Riker/Troi, Picard/Q and Geordi/Data.
VOY is epic, and Janeway is Life Goals, and Paris is utterly adorbs. Janeway/Seven, naturally.
ENT I am still pissed at that ending but I loved how new and shiny everything felt, because it was for them. Any combination of Archer/Trip/Reed
DSC is mindblowing. Stamets and Adira and Grey are LOVE. Tilly is like seeing myself on screen. Michael/Tilly, Stamets/Culber and Adira/Grey
PIC was just warm and fuzzy and wow and I love the Borg. I also really fucking love Seven/Raffi!
SNW I've only seen a couple of episodes but it feels like old school Trek and it's MADE OF LOVE.
I haven't see Lower Decks or Prodigy yet.
But I tell you it's an AMAZING time to be alive as a Trekkie!
