Mearth is in the lead with 6, and Carl Sagan a close second with 4, Wall-E is third with 2.

All of the others have 1 each:
Alf
Atlas

Carolyn
Chachi
Cosmos

Crusher
Drake
Enrico

Grover
HAL
Headroom
Ice Pick
Jansky

Mother
MSattlerJr
Myeraah
Nebula
Newbie
Orac
Orson
OscarII
Pi
Picard
Quark
Riker
Robby
Sattler

We could also have Oscar & Felix

Actually, Arkayn was quoting another post that was posted before any of the votes for Gort were cast - this one. There were quite a few votes after that post, not just for Gort. Feel free to re-do the list to make it accurate if it bothers you.

Since they are getting two twins in, and since we're looking at the stars, Castor and Polydeuces (or Pollux) for the Gemini constellation for the both of them.

That is a nice idea. Gemini I & Gemini II or Castor & Pollux.

twins are a mute point
One has already been designated as Oscar (in honor of the main fund drivers wish)
We're working on a name for the other

I'm for gort from "the day the earth stood still"
or if You want a Female name "Barbarella"

I'm for Sticking to the Sifi names and not to honor any person
Honoring one person by name would be a slight to those who also deserve recognition

I favor sagan, with carl as a second choice. vader is a last name; most others are first (or only) names. I think carl is not sufficiently specific. I see no two part names so carl sagan is deprecated. I also see no long names, so carl_sagan and supercalafragalisticexpialadocious are out too.
