it was pretty much a push"woman can have masculine names too" kind of preachy attitude from Kurtzman, and not just ambigious name that be either gender.
My main problem with DIS has a name: Michael Burnham. Not the actress, the script.
And about your question: no, the crying is only in scenes that work (traumatic or sentimental enough) unlike DIS.

I don’t mean the name itself. I mean the way Michael behaves. Even more when you think that she was adopted by a Vulcan family.

Yeah, Burnham could have been better and she was the center too much. I like Discovery as a show, but I hate it as Star Trek because it actively goes out of its way eschew so many baseline Trek Tropes, the biggest and most obvious being the Spore Drive. It feels like the writers were like “We don’t want to deal with the time issues of Warp travel.”. Then they extended this to the personal transports, which at least made sense as it was the 32nd century.
