Dax and Star Trek
in reply to a message by Elinor
Jadzia and Ezri Dax were two main characters in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. They were not family, but rather Trill who both served as hosts (one after the other) to a symbiont named Dax. After joining with a symbiont, Trills take the name of their symbiont as a surname. I don't believe Jadzia's birth surname was ever revealed, but Ezri was called Ezri Tigan before being joined.

Besides the ST reference, Dax just sounds generically very sci-fi and trendily macho to me. So it's nmsaa.
