Rename

I think it should be renamed as Sea serpent (Thin Ice). Moffat himself referred to it multiple times as a serpent. --DCLM ☎ 19:08, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

I'd like to hear some direct quotes from the episode on the subject. OS25 (Talk) 23:07, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

As I said Moffat himself called it a serpent, it is obviously not IN the episode. --DCLM ☎ 23:21, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

The Doctor referred to it as Tiny if this helps at all in the naming process. StevieGLiverpool ☎ 00:00, May 1, 2017 (UTC)

Didn't he also refer to it as the "Not-So-Little Mermaid"? :P TheFartyDoctor ^Talk 00:27, May 1, 2017 (UTC)

As I recall, the Doctor were merely nicknaming to refer to the size of it. --DCLM ☎ 09:20, May 1, 2017 (UTC)

Just a thought: why is everyone calling it a sea creature or serpent etc.? It lived in a river for centuries and it is not clear (from one watching) that it's even terrestrial. Wouldn't it be safer to call it an aquatic creature/serpent/...? Amorkuz ☎ 23:13, May 1, 2017 (UTC)

Isn't it safer to go with a description that has been given? I mean, nowhere is it referred to as "aquatic creature/serpent". The Doctor gave a number of names, but they were obvious as nicknames. Sutcliffe said "creature", but that seems like a generic description that could be given to any living thing. I still say it should be Sea serpent (Thin Ice) as that was a description Moffat gave. --DCLM ☎ 09:28, May 2, 2017 (UTC)
