According to one of the novels, Kirk and Mitchell used to have a joke that Kirk's middle name was "racquetball". This was used as a retcon and to show that evil Mitchell had a morbid sense of humor.

And in the episode with Nomad, James Roy Kirk, was the Creator
While James T Kirk was not

I DID know that, but always thought Tyberious, however it's spelled, was a tad ridiculous, even pretentious, who would name their child that?

Actually, it was always Tiberius…. An often overlooked plot point in “Where no man has gone before” that Kirk felt justified in killing Gary Mitchell because that Gary misspelled his supposedly “good friend’s” name on his tombstone.

I’d like to think it stood for “Ross”.
