In Portia Da Costa's erotic novel ,The Stranger, which featured an amnesiac character to parse as the Eighth Doctor, the mysterious stranger's true name was "Paul Bowman", obviously derived from Paul McGann.

The novel is of note to this Wiki due to both Father Time and The Gallifrey Chronicles referencing it a couple of times, however as the novel featured no legal link to Doctor Who, it is not currently covered by this Wiki.
