Pakistanis use similar naming conventions as well. One of my great friends in college was Said Faisal Tahir, with Said being a popular male first name and Faisal being a name given to every male in the family.

The Russian example I gave speaks most closely, though. The translation of the middle name "Ivanovich" for example is "son of Ivan." There could very easily be a Klingon single-word construction that translates as "son of Mogh," but which sounds much less formal and more organic in Klingon.

"Deck" is a denomination that refers to something inside a ship. If it's not a ship, then it's NOT a DECK. It's a Holosuite.
Of course, one could argue that you can't call it a holodeck because it doesn't take up the whole deck. Maybe we should call it the holo-shed?
