Sheldon is undoubtedly one of the most appreciated characters by fans of The Big Bang Theory for his quirky personality, his emotional growth throughout the 12 seasons that the sitcom lasted, and especially for the justly awarded comedic talent of his interpreter, Jim Parsons. And you may not know this, but one of his most beautiful moments happens in the prequel series Young Sheldon available on Netflix: we find out what the name of Sheldon’s son is…
As we eventually learn from the show’s grown-up narrator, he and his wife Amy (Mayim Bialik) have named their son… Leonard! And the main character explains why: it is, of course, a tribute to Star Trek hero Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock), whose biggest fan Sheldon is, but also to his best friend, Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki).

It’s a heartwarming detail to think that Sheldon is now more of a predator to recognize his feelings. In this case, he confirms his close friendship with his former compatriot Leonard.
