Osgood is said to be both "Zygon" and "Human" at the same time while Zygon Osgood is only "Zygon". Shouldn't at least one of them be changed? --DCLM 18:36, November 1, 2015 (UTC)

Name[[edit source]]

She said her first name was Petronella, sure, but does anyone believe for a second that the Doctor's first name is actually Basil? Kai Ell 02:18, November 8, 2015 (UTC)

For what it's worth, Big Finish is also now using the name "Petronella" officially. JagoAndLitefoot 01:12, November 12, 2015 (UTC)
It's also appeared on the BBC site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/nb0PrNpn29JsBkggCkrytT/osgood JagoAndLitefoot 01:14, November 12, 2015 (UTC)
Blogtor Who pointed out on twitter that Basil means King, while Petronella is a patron saint of kings. I can see "Petronella" being Osgood's way of calling the Doctor's bluff and I wonder if anyone asked Steven Moffat before changing the official website etc. Prof. Chronotis 23:38, November 12, 2015 (UTC)

The speedy rename tag has been changed to a rename tag because there is a forum discussion at Thread:183821 over what to do with the multiple Osgood types. So until that thread is resolved, there is no rush to change this page name. Shambala108 22:11, November 12, 2015 (UTC)

I changed it to Petronella without realising the rule about the naming can someone change it back please All Hail Aslan 12:14, November 15, 2015 (UTC)


All done but it should be changed to petronella osgood since all the people who take osgoods form become osgood. All Hail Aslan 12:17, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

I think it should be Petronella Osgood. That is her full name. The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lehpey (talk • contribs) .

The Doctor Who The Official Annual 2017's short storry Yes Missy has one Osgood mail the other, using the names Petronella also. I think it's best to rename until proven otherwise, because a lot of sources use this name - even if they hadn't asked Moffat is this is genuine, personally.

I don't understand why it hasn't been changed. The general consensus agrees it should be Petronella Osgood. Xx-connor-xX 14:41, January 2, 2017 (UTC)

I agree (though I am not general consensus :)). It remains to find an admin who agrees: only admins are allowed to move pages. Amorkuz 14:43, January 2, 2017 (UTC)

So... will it be changed? It's been quite a while since this started and finished now. StevieGLiverpool 00:12, June 1, 2017 (UTC)

On the strength of the name's use in Yes, Missy, the page has now been moved to Petronella Osgood. In fact, however, it could have been moved because of the BF credits, because we do allow page naming because of credits, failing in-universe help. Happily, Yes, Missy allows us to stick to straightforward, in-universe naming.
