Dear SDMB: I would like to lodge a complaint about this thread. It is obviously of no importance and being played just for laughs. The SDMB is a serious message board where serious people discuss serious topics in a serious manner. It is not a free-for-all which is used for purposes of amusement. Sincerely, Iva Bigbody. ---

“The Doctor” or “Doctor” is the title by which the mysterious Timelord refers to himself, as a mark of his self-chosen exile from his native world, Gallifrey. Apparently foreswearing one’s name and adopting a title is a practice of renegade Timelords, such as The Master and The Rani. Timelords have multisyllabic names which apparently are a description of who they are and their background, though most go by the first two or three syllables of their full name. One young female Timelord, Romanadvoratrelundar, disliked being called “Romana”, for whatever significance those syllables had in the Timelord language. Gallifreyans studying to become Timelords at academy also are known by nicknames which translate to Greek letters: the Doctor rebuked a former classmate for calling him Theta Sigma, and one legendary Timelord is referred to simply as Omega. There have been multiple teasers throughout the series that the syllable “Who” is a part of the Doctor’s name, although the Doctor himself claims that his true name is unpronouncable by humans. ---
