If we humans survive to 2228, I hope that someone will actually name their kid James Tiberius Kirk.

As someone who grew up not too far from Riverside... the sheer number of folks who show up to that middle-of-nowhere town for Trek Fest everytime has me convinced that in 2228, "James Tiberius Kirk" will be one of the most common baby names of the year. XD

There's a former US Navy officer named James Kirk, he retired in 2023 as a Rear Admiral, so in the 2010's there was a Captain James Kirk sailing the seas, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%5C_A.%5C_Kirk[1][2]
