From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

It was not completely useless: we have a confirmation that Zygon Osgood would have a page according to common practice.

Since I was partially guilty of the distraction, let me try to focus attention by summarizing the choices left. (Please, correct me at will.)

Option 1. Separate page for each of the three characters and the fourth page for the conglomerate. Names of pages are to be chosen.

Option 2. One page for all four. Whether to use Petronella needs to be decided.

I vote option 1 with page names Osgood (UNIT: Extinction), Zygon Osgood (The Day of the Doctor), Bonnie (The Zygon Invasion) and Osgood (hybrid).

Justification: these names are long so adding Petronella would make them overlong (it can be added in the text). Plus, the policy says to use the most commonly used name. In UNIT: Extinction, Osgood explicitly states that most people call her "Osgood". For separate characters, the names are unambiguous as each cited story only has one copy of this particular type (in particular, the two Zygon Osgood issue is resolved). The "hybrid" moniker is based on the Doctor's words in The Zygon Invasion (TV story). It emphasizes that they are not just human and Zygon but something more. Also hybrid is starting to look like a general topic (if not an ark) of Series 9 to me, so it would be nice to acknowledge it. I also believe that "hybrid" is sufficiently telling not to mix it with either human or Zygon Osgood.
