Sometimes people connect my unusual name to popular culture. They say things like “Oh, Q like James Bond?” or “Oh, Q like Star Trek?”.
I think their choice of franchise tells me more about them than they learn from my answer, which is usually “No, Q like the set of rational numbers.”
Interesting Dan you are named after rational numbers, I after the first unstable element in the periodic system . . .
In actual fact the Q isn’t “for” anything.
Which I keep having to explain to the UK’s Border Force whenever I return home from abroad, who always insist on asking “what is it short for?”, despite the fact that if it was “short” for something, then the “long” version would be right there on my passport, right where it says “full name”.
It turns out that Border Force do not have a sense of humour.
You are just a member of the Q Continuum ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(Star_Trek) )
