+: I think that the "who" relates to who he is - why he is special, what he is really running from (Just the memory of the vortex? Even though he saw it as a child and then stayed in the academy for hundreds of years?), why he of all Time Lords won the Time War by killing everyone, etc. They always hint that there's a side of him that nobody knows - so that side would be the answer.

 ==Running from the Answer==
 According to Dorium, the Doctor had been running away from answering "Doctor Who?" his entire life (or lives, counting incarnations). However, it seems when his Eleventh life fizzles out, the Question will be asked and we will finaly learn what he is called. ([[Special:Contributions/173.167.179.77|173.167.179.77]]<sup>[[User talk:173.167.179.77#top|talk to me]]</sup> 22:50, January 10, 2012 (UTC))
+:What he's called IS The Doctor, plus WHO he is might not be his name, it might be though, it might just be the dark past that he has been hinted from time to time to have. After all like William Shakesphere said, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

+: It's not necessarily his 11th life. The Doctor lies, Moffat more so. I think it might be the autumn of 2011. You can't even be sure he's the 11th, because AFAIK we can't be sure he didn't regenerate before Hartnell or between McGann and Eccleston (that's why I refer to them by actor name and not by number). Plus, you can say that Tennant sort of regenerated into himself in Journey's End, so Matt Smith is #12.
+: Is the answer his name? I don't think so. If it is, then his name must contain so much more. Any answer that's just a word, a sequence of letters, wouldn't be so critical to deserve that level of importance. Even a meaningful word like "Darklordofall" or "Fourthdimension" or "Barack Obama" as his name wouldn't be something so gravely important and dangerous.
+: Will his life fizzle out? You never know. Not with the DW gang. They use the same verb, fall, for him and for the Silence. Would they take his place? Would they all physically fall? Or maybe fall to their knees? As they say, when you assume you make an "ass" out of "u" and "Moffat".
+: I think we'll never know. I can't think of an answer satisfying enough for the question. Much like how I want River to live on but I know that if she does her story won't be so wonderfully tragic anymore, I want to know the Doctor's name but if I do his story won't be so enchantingly mysterious anymore.
+: Therefore, I think he will arrive at the fields of Trenzalore, which must be anagram for something though I haven't found any satisfying answers for that ("a soldier left frozen"?). And the question will be asked, no idea by whom, perhaps we haven't met them yet. I think it will be on the 50th anniversary. Who knows, maybe 7 incarnations will be there. And he will answer. BUT the prophecy does not indicate how audible the answer must be.
+: He will answer. In a whisper. Into River's ear. There's only one time he could tell her, and that's it.
+: And I'm overthinking it. [[User:AilaG|AilaG]] <sup>[[User talk:AilaG|talk to me]]</sup> 04:10, March 16, 2012 (UTC)

 == Merge? ==
 Given that the "Doctor Who?" question is now something with in-universe significance, shouldn't [[The "Doctor Who?" running joke]] be merged into [[The Question]]? (I would remove the ones that aren't literally "Doctor who?", though).
