You need a girl's name from Star Trek? Easy - '7 of 9'. Nothing odd about that!
Another peev of mine is when people give their kid a first name that is really a surname. For boys it is just annoying, but it's a serious problem for girls because you automatically preclude her from being able to marry a guy with that surname. Those are low odds, granted, but if thousands of parents do that it will be a problem for some women one day.
(I apologize if someone who named their kid 'Smith Johnson' or 'Reynolds Thomas', etc, is offended.) 
Having said that, I realize people can name their kid whatever they want (Just look at celebrities) and don't need my approval, yadda yadda.
Ok, done. I feel better now.
Update:
Ok, I posted this earlier today, and last night we go out to eat. The 3 boys in the booth behind us are named Carson, Jordan and Connor! I couldn't help but think the universe was trying to get me to lighten up. I will consider it.
