# Secondly, while yes, these names could be used to describe other incarnations, the fact of the matter is, is that ''they haven't been used''.

My point is, these names are the only official ones that exist, and they are also unique to each incarnation. Due to the [[Talk:Fugitive Doctor|Fugitive Doctor precedent]], these descriptive names should be the ones used to name the articles. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 01:32, 3 November 2021 (UTC) | My point is, these names are the only official ones that exist, and they are also unique to each incarnation.

Okay, there was a reason I highlighted the [[Fugitive Doctor]] precedent. | |||
That page was named due to the fact that, while the name hasn't been used in-universe, is otherwise the official name for the character and used by the BBC and fans alike, making it silly that the page wasn't name that. | |||
That precedent applies here: the BBC have only used "[[The Quite Handsome Doctor]]", "[[The Shy Doctor]]", "[[The Handsome Doctor]]", and "[[The Female Doctor]]" to refer to these incarnations. The current names ''have never once been used by the BBC''. | |||
While @[[User:Borisashton|Borisashton]] raises the points that the current names are the closest to an in-universe name, as well as being ambiguous, I'd like to counter those points. | |||
# Firstly, the current names rely already on far too much speculation, to the point that the leads have to establish that "an incarnation who would've been logically called" before referring to them by number. Continuing this, the descriptive names, are, in my opinion, more in-universe, as we can see that they, well, describe the Doctors. Calling [[Jim Broadbent]]'s Doctor "[[The Shy Doctor|the shy one]] is self-evident to anyone who is familiar with ''Curse''. Whereas referring to them as "the Tenth Doctor" makes you immediately think of [[Tenth Doctor|the other one]]. | |||
