"William T. Riker"

I am not going to bother asking (or Google-ing) what the "T." stands for... I'm just going to assume it's either "Tiberius" or "The."

Also, that was a 15 second video stretched out to almost two minutes because who knows why.

 

Uh, actually, the "T" stands for Thomas. As depicted in season six, episode 24 "Second Chances" of Star Trek: The Next Generation. After beaming down to an abandoned science outpost on Nervala IV, it's discovered that due to a transporter malfunction a duplicate of William Riker has been living on the station for the past 8 years. Struggling with his identity, the duplicate Riker adopts his middle name, Thomas, as a new first name.
