OK, seriously, how does one pronounce, "Vaggie"? Considering that this ship is canon (according to some commenters), isn't that name a little on the nose?

She's gone through many years of redesigns (including being in a straight relationship, a sex worker, and initially meant for another story altogether) so it's hard to tell the original intent behind the name, but it's much older than her being a lesbian. By the time of the pilot the Word of God stated it's short for Vagatha, which seems to have been retconned too.
