Well, many years ago I wanted to make a Doctor Who themed username, put TARDIS and figured slap a number on there. It was originally 3, but there were two issues: One, people kept thinking I was ā€œTARDISE,ā€ whatever that means, and Two, TARDIS3 kept being taken. I thought 2 was a good subsequent number and TARDIS32 has been default since. If I need a third number because someone manages to take TARDIS32 first, itā€™s TARDIS326.

Iā€™ve used 15th Doctor on all my DW related accounts since December 2007 when I rejoined Gallifey Base. At the time a 15th Doctor seemed like a ridiculously far away concept, and I suppose it was. It now feels a bit strange to have my internet identity based round a thing that solidly exists. Very happy to have a username associated with Ncuti though, of course!

I picked mine based off of A Good Man Goes To War. At the start, Rory and the Doctor blow up a legion of Cybermen and when I first watched it I thought they blew up the Ninth Cyber Legion but I rewatched it like last week and found out it was the 12th Cyber Legion/Fleet.

Ooh, so youā€™re actually the original 15th Doctor! The definitive article! The BBC should pay you royalties (or at least credit you next to Ncuti).

I think Ncuti has me firmly in mind when he plays The Doctor.

ive used some form of the name VampireSquid since about sixth grade because they were my favorite squid. Now its morphed into various forms like ā€œvamā€ or ā€œvammieā€ lol
Oh and if thats taken already, i usually put ā€œ68212ā€ at the end because that was the number sequence from my animal jam username when i was really little and i remember it

Mine wasnā€™t deeply considered. I tried a few things linked to my name but they werenā€™t accepted. I got frustrated and just tried to think of something Who-related that I didnā€™t think would be taken, and the scene in School Reunion when K9 tells Mickey to used the car as a battering ram came into my head.

Get lost Mickey! Heā€™s worth 100 of you! Good dog.

Mines Dullish, cos it goes back to my original Xbox 360 name, Dullishcow7. Itā€™s just stuck around.

Two reasons behind my username:

a) When my children were little, they thought I looked like the Ninth Doctor; and

b) Iā€™m a research scientist with a doctorate

Put them together and my children decided that I wasā€¦

ā€¦the real Doctor.

Hence, I becameā€¦ realdoctor online.

I remember you writing this earlier somewhere. I have been picturing you as a weird mix of the Ninth and Fourth Doctors ever since, and I donā€™t know if the resulting face is funny, scary or what!

Well, you can judge for yourself!

Funny/scary, yes. And definitely nothing like me!
