I have been thinking of this topic a lot recently, with the wiki reference on Journey's End. Davros in that episode called him
Spoiler:The Destroyer of Worlds
So what if it is something that is shocking, dangerous, and a revelation. Something he is ultimatly afraid of, or ashamed of. Something that is well known to the universe, but a name that is a bringer of death. Which is why he called himself "The Doctor" Sort of like the Grim Reaper. Something that is surrounded by death, however is not the cause of it. But is associated with that death by the people who witness those events.
Which could be why he chose "The Doctor" The man who makes people better, as The Master said. Who knows, this could even be some sort of attonement. That last is unlikely. But The Doctor is a man with a lot of emotional baggage.

Support the Gateworld Cantina or suffer the fate of all who fall into the clutches of the 'Eladrith Ynneas'

any ideas?
In '' The Planet Of The Odd '' The Ood Who Helped The Doctor & Donnah , Was Called Odd Sigma , Maybe That Hints A Clue - But His First Name Is Deffinantly Theat!
In '' The Lost Planet '' Rose Whispered 2 Words Into Donnahs Ear , They Were 'Bad Wolf' Maybe The 2 Words Were Another Hint.
In The Vashdanarada , That Girl - I Forgot Her Na,e , She Wispered 2 Words In His Ear!
But The Doctor Who Cast Are Stupid !!!
My Friend Is Deaf And Can Lip Read , The Words Are ........ Theet Sigmarous . As Far As He Can Work Out.
Thanks Anyway!

Im 99% sure that 13 is the regeneration limit, however we know The Master is on his 15th.....this is becuase in "The Five Doctors" the time lords offer him a new regeneration cycle in exchange for his help. So there is a way for a time lord to get around the 13 rule, maybe the Doctor will find away around it as well!A Proud Supporter of "Fan-Slash-Fiction" Since 1998

Apparently, the Time Lords have the ability to grant additional regeneration cycles,
but are likely reluctant to do so due to their taboo against immortality (The Five Doctors).

The time lords can do it, also the master does in the Keeper of Traken. I've not seen the story in over 2 decades but I think he could since he had some access to the energy the keeper of traken had access to and by also taking over Treemas's body as well. I'm not sure if this started a new cycle for him, or just granted him a new body.

Even with his return in the 2005 series, I don't think the Time Lords gave the Master any regenerations. The reason I think this is because the when he was in the form of Professor Yana, he was injured as he was making his way to the TARDIS. He does regenerate, but I think that the combination of the TARDIS and the Doctor's severed hand, plus he was Galifreyan made it possible for him to regenerate. This may have also made it so he had the ability to regenerate again, but denied it when he lay in the Doctor's arms after beging shot.

According to this, his real name is Theta Sigma. Whether or not this was mentioned in the original series I am not sure but according to a couple of websites, its canon.
http://www.freewebs.com/stupidmajor/castcrew.htmTeselecta: "Silence will fall when the question is asked."
Doctor: "And what is the question?"
Teselecta: "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
Doctor: " *Brainfart* ".

I was watching Turn Left last night and the following theory came to me.
Throughout RTD's run we've been told that the Doctor's name is more than just a secret. Then look at Rose in Turn Left, she avoids the question of her name entirely and even the UNIT scientists don't know it (I would love to know what they refer to her as) finally when called on it she says "I've crossed too many different realities - trust me, the wrong word in the wrong place can change the entire causal nexus." Meaningless technobabble of course but the basic message seems to be, if her name is used in this universe then time gets screwed up. Not entirely sure why this would be the case but if it is the case with Rose in the Turnleftverse then it could just as well be the case with the Doctor in ours.

That dosen't really make sense to me. Can you elaborate?
I mean in the TARDIS when the Doctor was regenerating after being shot Jack called her Rose.. So shouldnt' that have screwed something up?
Maybe his name is something classical like Melchizedek which is the Timelord from the musical TimeGo home aliens, go home!!!!
