Is it 'Worf' like 'Cher' or is his full name 'Worf Roshenko"?

If Alexander's surname is Roshenko then surely his dad is the same?
In that case, why isn't it 'Commander/Lt Roshenko"?
Worf, son of Mogh, House of Martok, son of Sergey, House of Rozhenko, bane to the Duras family, slayer of Gowron.
Bit of a mouthfull tbh. Starfleet probably went with 'worf' cos the surname field was 25 chars max
Centuries in the future and government is still using a 25 character maximum for string data. Actually yeah, that tracks.
Siddig el-Tahir el-Fadil el-Siddig Abdurrahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim el-Mahdi. No wonder he switched to Alexander Siddig
So the isolinear chip stores a lot of data...
Hell, Enterprise D's 3 Core computers we suspect to hold ~483,840,000,000 TB to 3,870,720,000,000 TB depending on which canon reference you use.
They could store Worf's full name.
Had to make room for Riker’s porn folder.
And his music sheets for his trombone.
It's not so much that the computers are incapable of storing it. Turns out the Starfleet records system just depends on a schema an intern implemented at the UN in 1997, and no one's had time to migrate it since then.
Yeah but then they have to fax it to corporate, and with such a long name, it's such a bother.....
ZFS could manage that. You might have to split his name over a few files though :/
BTRFS and immutability might be better, given how unwieldy it is and how often it changes.
Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings
but that raises further questions. Why isn't it "Alexander son of Worf, house of Martok, house of Rozhenko"?
Because Alexander rejected his Klingon birthright.
this continues to raise further questions. When? At what age is he allowed to do that? Source?
When he turned 18.
As of now I'm deciding that the Rozhenkos are from Vinci, Tuscany
Worf, son of Mogh, House of Martok, son of Sergey, House of Rozhenko, bane to the Duras family, slayer of Gowron da Vinci
Chamomile tea? Laaaame, what is he a Vulkan? Shoulda offered her prune juice. A warrior's drink.
He's working on his Zen thing, man.
Worf, Son of Mogh
Through TNG/Early DS9. Later DS9
Worf, of the House of Martok
100% accurate.
The warrior formerly known as Worf, now just the symbol of a Bat'Leth
He is Worf, son of Mogh, father of none.
Worf, son of Mogh, house of child abandonment.
Maybe its a warrior name you get when you pass into manhood. Nom de guerre... Son just has not earned his?
I suspect you are correct.
Alexander identifies more with his human upbringing, so he uses a more human name
Fair but he's missing out on 'Alexander, son of Worf, house of none as he keeps getting shuttled about, bane of all that is interesting and fun... "
