What's sad is his parents made his middle name James, like they had hope for him to be a beacon for humanity... as opposed to oppression.

Him not removing/changing the James part of his name means he either didn't care or was trying to be ironic. Or completely missed the point of Star Trek. Or likely had never watched an episode of the original Star Trek. Jim Kirk is known for being a badass, like Sisko, but Kirk is easily as thoughtful as Picard. But that isn't what he's known for.
