I recall there were other fictitious diseases in Star Trek TNG but I don't remember what they are now.

A bit off topic but today I came across this list of people who are named with diseases:

Leper Priest (born 1929)
Cholera Priest (born 1830 during the second cholera pandemic)
Rubella Graves (born 1814)
Typhus Black (born 1897)
Hysteria Johnson (born 1881)
Emma Royd (born 1850)
Kathryn E. Coli (born 1894)
Mumps Sykes (born 1891)


From the same site they allowed you to vote for the worst real names ever:

@boomerang,
Acne... Fountain?

Ugh.

What a name.

Couldn't really get past that one.

(Please, someone, replace the picture in my mind's eye quick -- anything will do -- has to be better than Acne Fountain...)
