Rename
If PROSE: Mission to the Known does indeed refer to it as the Dalek Time Commander, I think we should refer to it as such. It's a more specific name than just Time Commander, and supposedly is used in an actual story. As I don't own Mission to the Known, however, it would be nice if somebody could properly verify this.
