That's a great idea! Damn! I wish I HAD thought of it... I'm going to get
my TARDIS working again, go back in time and post it first! :)
Good stuff.. I really like it... If only the Doctor Who writers could be
so imaginative...

Sorry to disappoint you, but the Doctor's real name is "Gern Blanston".

No it isn't, it's "Gordon Schumway".

Wrong. The Doctor's real name is Cosmo. Cosmo Kramer.

What a cool idea!
You know, that makes some kind of wacky Whovian sense. I mean, he's
impacted history enough in other ways. . . hey, why not?

Hello from the future.
Just watched the last episode of 6th season.
Just watched the last episode of 6th season.
So you did it, Mr. Moffat, you put this idea in the series. After 16 years from its creation.
That's freaking amazing.

time. You probably just left fifty hints to season twelve's story-arch
in the last episode. Please don't ever leave head writer.

Inspector Morse never revealed his first name during the most of the
seasons, but it was eventually revelaed to be "Endeavour Morse".
Maybe The Doctor has an equally unique name ... maybe "Mayflower Who". ;-)
Of course since names don't actually mean anything (as we've discovered in
the "reboot" topic), he may as well be called "Wibble" as well ... just
replace every noun with "Wibble" and every verb with the appropriately
extended version ("wibbling", "wibbled", "wibbles", etc.). :-\

I hate this kind of thinking. Do we have to make the Doctor connected to every ever done/made/happened etc etc? His name is really completely unimportant as well. The whole point of him, to me, is that 95% of what he does any person could do. He is, at his core, just a person trying to help and do the right things.
