Star Trek is an expansive universe with a wide variety of sentient species inhabiting planets across and within multiple quadrants of space. These differences are physical, cultural, and technological as well!
When choosing names for Star Trek characters you should take into account the culture the individual was raised in, as well as their species and political affiliation.
