    VOY or VGR: Acronym for Star Trek: Voyager

    I have a question what to you call Star Trek Voyager for short? The Star Trek Encyclopedia calls Voyager: VGR. However, Startrek.com calls Voyager: VOY. What do you prefer to call it VGR or VOY.

    I personally call it VGR.

    Officially the Star Trek PTB call it "VOY" so I'll stick with that.

      I just want to know what the fan prefer, I honestly don't care which Acronym is official.

        Yep, I'll stick with 'VOY'. I've always shortened 'Voyager' like that.

        VGR, to me anyway, sounds more like V'Ger, the probe from ST: The Motion Picture.

          VGR is the one I've always used.

            Bingo. Not that this trash should be counted among true Star Trek anyhow.

              I'm going with 'VOY', as with others, 'VGR' reminds me of V'ger from the motion picture. Besides, I don't think I've ever seen it referred to as 'VGR', but my memory isn't exactly concrete...

              Sheppard: "Y’know, we’ve been having these conversations for a couple of weeks now, and I don’t even know your name. You guys do have names, right? Let me guess...Steve?"
              Wraith: "I am your death. That is all you need to know."
              Sheppard: "I prefer Steve."

                Exactly what I was going to say..... and VGR tends to look a little annoying, while VOY looks nicer..... don't ask why. Looks balanced..... and that's totally irrelevant.

                  VOY all the way:

                  a) because as others have said VGR reminds me of V'GER.

                  and

                  b) well, to be honest, i've never seen it shortened to VGR before!

                    VGR when i first saw it in the encyclopedia just confused me. I've always used VOY so i'll stick with that.

                          STV is not an option?

                            No, I honestly don't know why it isn't.
