Nimoy
Nimoy is a surname, most famously associated with Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015), the American actor who played Spock on *Star Trek*.
The name occasionally appears as shorthand for Spock himself or for the particular blend of intelligence, reserve, and raised-eyebrow skepticism Nimoy brought to the role: He gave me a very Nimoy look when I suggested we skip the meeting.
