Talk:Aliases of the Doctor

Is it worth mentioning the name of the Doctor said in an article in one of the Marvel Comics? It's "d³Σx²" Im a recolor 21:39, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't see why not. -<Azes13 02:33, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

the name/designation d³Σx² comes from The Making of Doctor Who, first edition. (maybe subsequent editions, too.) not strictly canon, though. --Stardizzy2 23:50, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

to do list

• Put some things on "names given to him by others" into aliases.
• Aliases not mentioned:
  • "The Traveller From Beyond Time" (The Savages)
  • "Idiot" (Kinda)
  • "Dr. Bowman" (David Bowman?) used by the Eighth Doctor
  • "The Dentist" (Downtime) --Stardizzy2 00:08, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Last name

Could the last name of the Doctor be 'Song' because of River Song in Silence in the Library. River Song and the Doctor were married and if River took the Doctor's last name...

We don't know for a fact that they were married, though it is likely. There is very little reason to believe, however, that the Doctor's real last name (if he even has one) is Song.

You forgot to sign your comment.

It's even less likely that his last name is Song as it is strongly hinted that she whispered his name to him in order to quickly gain his trust - and the Doctor was completely blown away. It's likely that if she shared his true last name, he would've noticed.

Also, given the secret nature of the Doctor's name, such as is shown with comments made by the Carrionites and Madame de Pompadour, it seems very unlikely that the Doctor's name would be even partially revealed through River changing her name.

It's made less likely if you take into account the novels as canon, particularly Lungbarrow, which reveals the House that the Doctor was loomed from. It's likely that if he has a last name, it would be the name of his house.--TheOmnius 01:20, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

All Time Lords take Titles?

I'm new to Doctor Who so this might be an idiot question, but I need to ask it anyway. Do all Time Lords take titles? I know of two so far: The Doctor and The Master. 69.68.233.65 16:21, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

short answer, no. early novelisations and The Making of Doctor Who implied so, however. --Stardizzy2 20:27, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
