Howling:Is the Doctor's name a Carrionite spell?
I've been thinking lately that the Doctor's name couldn't be that dangerous as a normal name. For example, we know Goth and Romana's full names, so if the Doctor's name was normal for a Gallifreyan, it wouldn't be at all dangerous to space and time continuing.
Which has lead me onto something...
Not even the Carrionites know his true name, while the Silence are intent on stopping him speaking it at all, specifically on the fields on Trenzalore. Could there be the possibility that the Doctor's name is a Carrionite spell? Carrionite science is used by speaking the right words at the the right time with the right shapes present, so perhaps they know that if he speaks his name on Trenzalore, at a specific time, it will unleash something?
I don't see how his name could be dangerous, that's all.

A Carrionite spell (or something along the same lines) is a possibility. As I recall, it wasn't only that the Carrionites didn't know his true name. They couldn't even find it out & were very surprised by that. Remember, also, Reinette (The Girl in the Fireplace) said, "It's more than just a secret," while she was reading his mind. --78.146.182.62talk to me 22:39, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
