We all know Mal Reynolds, the Tams and Jayne Cobb, but was Kaylee's, Wash & Zoe or Inara's last name ever used?

So Kaylee's and Inara's last names were used in "Shindig" but was Wash & Zoes last name ever used?

Wash Warren, if I'm not mistaken. Though I have NO CLUE where I got that from.

Just a humble supplicant in service to all things Joss

imdb.com gives all of the last names, I was just wondering if it had ever been used on the show. It maybe something that would introduced later.

SERENA,

I got your email but dunno how to respond to your question except to do so here. My answer, which won't make a lot of sense to others here, is :

No, Serena, I had not heard what you asked about and can shed no light on it. I did hear that he had been captured by
another group, not the U.S., and was handed over to the U.S. by that group.

To be sure, we are lied to on a regular basis by the U.S. media and by our
beloved government. It gets depressing, I can assure you.

All best,

.........Ruxton

Maybe Book is his first name, maybe it's his last name, I don't know.

That reminds me of an ad I saw in a comic book once. In this ad, Spiderman was interviewing Wolverine and the beginning of the exchange went like this:

Spidey: Is Logan your first name or your last name?

Wolverine: Yup.

Heh.

No power in the 'verse can stop me.

There are a lot of shows that only use one name. Wilson from ToolTime, McGyver and Quincy are the first ones that I can think of.

Book does sound like an alias that he might have recieved when he joined the abbey. It's a good way to leave your past behind.

Reminds me of the story of Slim Pickens. He wanted to ride in a rodeo and his mom wouldn't let him, so he signed up anyway. The rodeo guy told him there wasn't much but slim pickens left and then asked him his name. The rest is history.

Book may have walked into an abbey after the war and when they asked him his name, he said the first thing he saw. The rest is history.

The Washburn comes from a Nathan Fillion posting on the OB. There is no cannon reference to to Wash being short for anything and no cannon reference to Warren. The Jerry Lee reference is from Our Mrs. Reynolds, as in "Nice work, Jerry Lee" with inexplicabe camera cuts to Kaylee.

see, i always thought he was saying kerry lee, a longer version of kaylee, which confused me mightily, because of shindig.
tho... i just checked the subtitles and it says mal said kaylee....
