Well, I was watching "Blink" and I noticed a very strange trend with the namings in Steven Moffat's episodes--all the first names seem to end with -y, -ie, -ey, etc. I don't think this was intentional but it's a funny coincidence.

Let's recap:
*"The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances": [[Nancy (The Empty Child)|Nancy]] and [[Jamie (The Empty Child)|Jamie]]. There was also a [[Timothy Lloyd|Timothy]], an [[Algy]], and an [[Ernie (The Empty Child)|Ernie]].
*"The Girl in the Fireplace"...okay, Reinette was based on a historical character, but there was still a King Louis (which is pronounced Louie)
*"Blink": the main characters are [[Sally Sparrow|Sally]], [[Larry Nightingale|Larry]], [[Kathy Nightingale|Kathy]], and [[Billy Shipton|Billy]].
*"Silence in the Library"/"Forest in the Dead": haven't seen this one yet (I'm taping it on BBCA next week when they air it), but I know there's [[River Song]], who's real name we now know is Melody.
*"The Eleventh Hour": The infamous intro of [[Amy Pond|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|Rory]]. And a possessed coma patient named [[Barney Collins|Barney]] who dreams about walking dogs.
*"The Beast Below": Besides Amy, there were also the kids [[Timmy]] and [[Mandy Tanner|Mandy]].
*Okay, we get a break with "The Time of Angels"/"Flesh and Stone" and "The Pandorica Opens"/"The Big Bang", but plenty of Amy, Rory, and River/Melody.
*"The Impossible Astronaut"/"Day of the Moon": [[Joy (The Impossible Astronaut)|Joy]], which doesn't make the same sound but still ends in -y.
*"A Good Man Goes to War": Once again Amy, Rory, and even a little Melody, along with [[Jenny Flint|Jenny]] and the reappearence of [[Henry Avery|Henry]] and [[Toby Avery|Toby]] Avery.
It was just a strange coincidence I saw and thought I'd share it. Thank you, [[User:Glimmer721|Glimmer721]] 02:13, July 30, 2011 (UTC)
