Naming problems
There had been much speculation over the name of Trinity Wells. It was revealed by Russell T. Davies that she was offically unnamed until series 2; following this, he decided to name her Trinity Wells. She was not credited as Trinity Wells until DW: Turn Left.
The words "Mal Loup" (aka Bad Wolf) appeared captioning one of her news reports and had been mistaken for the character's name, but seem to be a manifestation of the Bad Wolf meme, as explored in DW: Turn Left, in which the word appears everywhere in many forms.
