More on names. I'd like to avoid the following kinds of surnames for the medical team:

1. Telling names: Dr. Homo for a gay doctor, or naming your rocket scientist Prof. Smart.

2. Overuse of the most common surnames (i.e. naming one somatonaut Dr. Smith, another Dr. Jones, and a third Dr. Brown).

3. Names made up to sound stereotypically science-fictiony: Zargon, Gleezquax, Xoogle, etc.

4. Names that have already been used for fictional doctors or nurses in OTHER people's fiction. Don't name a somatonaut Dr. Hibbert, or Dr. Welby, or Dr. House, or Dr. Quatermaine.
