I couldn’t deal with it anymore I’ve gotta have an explanation for why all Betazoids on Voyager have extremely human names so I’ve made up my own:

Lieutenant Veronica Stadi: one of her parents was a xenobotanist who were fascinated with the alien flora of Earth. She’s actually named after her mom’s favorite alien flower Veronica longifolia, also known on Earth as the Speedwell. Veronica probably picks up the nickname Speedwell as an almost-pun on her ability to fly ships really speedily and really well all while avoiding quantum filaments

Juliet Jurot: given that she choses to attend the Vulcan Science Academy, I’m just going to assume that her whole family is very interested and open to experiencing the cultures of other species. Thus she’s named after the Shakespeare character - her father had a deep and important friendship and working relationship with a Klingon translator who worked on translating Shakespeare from the original Klingon into several Betazed languages. She’s a little mad that out of all the Shakespeare characters her dad could have picked he went for the tragic teenager and Jurot just has to carry that reference as a level-headed adult woman now, but she also does see the appeal of the alliteration over like “Perdita Jurot” (Sycorax Jurot though, now there’s a fucking cool Betazoid name)

Lon Suder: his parents were SO psychic that they saw both into the future and outside of the bounds of the narrative and knew their son would be in a horror episode of Star Trek: Voyager and were like “hmm let’s name him after renowned Earth horror actor Lon Chaney just to be thematically appropriate; that’ll be fun for a couple people in the audience to speculate on.”

The memory alpha page for Juliet Jurot is hysterical. Like, look at this, there wasn’t even a scene where you see the actress from the front, the character photo is just the back of her head.

This is almost beyond even my level of minor character and Betazoid obsession.

The text on the left describes her as Betazoid serving aboard Voyager and appearing briefly in the episode “Counterpoint”.]

I’ve been SO excited to see what Jurot’s first name is in Elite Force. Was really looking forward to getting a new Betazoid first name full of the w’s and x’s I was sure would come with it. Surely this would not be another Veronica Stadi situation, with just an extremely human first name.

Jurot’s first name is Juliet. Juliet Jurot.

Granted, that is a great name, love the alliteration. But also! That is an unbelievably human first name. Begging Star Trek media to please give me some more Betazoid first names that aren’t also just some human guy names so I can expand on their naming conventions.
