Apparently Doctor Who's real name is going to be revealed this weekend (apart from some people in the US who have apparently received the DVD a few weeks early and so already know - if this is you, please keep quiet).
 
Place your bets here on what you reckon his name will be.
 
I'm going for "Bob" or "Steve".

This weekend? I read it was planned to be revealed in november, exactly for the 50th birthday! Confused
Anyway, my bet is on: "Some call me... Tim?"

With a last name like Who it's obvious he's chinese, so I bet his first name is When.

I'm going to say they won't actually reveal it, at least not to the wider audience. (Unless you know for a fact they do, then ignore this bit) Perhaps a long string or galifrian symbols or the like.


But if they do...I'll say Maximillion, Cornelius, Cosmo, or Boniface.

Maybe we should the case to the Tropers:

My other bet would be that his ancestors not only created the TARDIS, but also baptized it from their family name. Wild Mass Guess at its worst...

IMO...They will not reveal his name to us since that's been a running 'gag' for 50 years now.

Maybe he would be likely to have a more-than-exotic name, due to his extraterrestrial origins. So, none of us would guess right.

Nah, I don't think the Gallifreyan civilisation is all about matricules and numbers.

The first Gallifreyan we ever see in Dr Who (before the Doctor himself even) was called Susan and she was/is the Doctor's granddaughter. Another Gallifreyan who appeared in many episodes is Romanadvoratrelundar (Romana). Other's have been called Runcible, Rodan and Damon, so it seems they can have quite mundane names.
What?

Do you recall what happened to the grandaughter after the other doctor took over? Maybe she's Clara being regenerated..? Wink
I recall a President Berosa (sp?) on Gallifrey also from one of Baker's episodes.
 
BTW... I heard that John Hurt is going to be in the 50th Anniversary episode and that he's playing a lost 9th version of Dr Who.
