I can't see the poll now.

DonnaDoctor. That's the one name I haven't come across for Marvin.

Yeah, I know. Bloody LJ. But it's fixed now. Thanks!

Hmmmm. Strange; I've seen it a few times. But it's not one of the most popular ones I'll admit. :)

juliet316 April 13 2010, 03:56:25 UTC

Yay! Now the poll is in it's proper place now!

beautifulntime April 13 2010, 03:59:29 UTC

Hi! My favourite term is 10.5, really because I just like the way it sounds, AND so I can be clever and call my chihuahua, whose name is actually, The Doctor, 10.75...LOL

I also like Handy because it's funny, and I don't mind most of the other names. In my fanfics, in the few times I've referred to it [I mostly write drabbles and ficlets, so it hasn't come up often], I call him David Noble. It really bothers me when he's given Tyler as a surname, because to me it doesn't make sense, since Rose Tyler is his romantic interest -- makes it sound like she's his sister or something. I also prefer that he's not called John Smith, because that's really what the proper Doctor uses as an alias, and doesn't separate the two as much as I'd like, but I don't mind it much. I'm not sure what I think about 10.5 called Jack or Jamie...don't mind it, but meh. And Marvin's cute! :) Again, not what I'd call him, but I like that it's a bit different, so cool! :)

*waves* Hello ( ... )

Just a guess, but Jamie might be a homage of some sort since the Doctor's second incarnation once traveled with a young Scotsman named Jamie McCrimmon.

beautifulntime April 13 2010, 04:50:23 UTC

Quite possible. I mean that's the only explanation I could think of, but it didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I dunno. *shrugs*

Yes, no can see poll.

Golly, what do I call him? MC, 10.5, half-human Doctor, blue Doctor, Handy, Marvin - anything really!

beautifulntime April 13 2010, 03:53:59 UTC

Hehe. Hello, dear.

Poll is trying to kick me in the face. Working on it!

*hugs you*

ETA: Fixed now. Thanks for your patience, muffin! :)

I call him 10.5, Handy, Ten 2 (not really-ish but yes) and my ex-husband. I never thought about him having Donna's last name though..that is epic lol

beautifulntime April 13 2010, 04:49:43 UTC

Yeah Ten 2 would have been an option too but LJ limits you to ten options apparently, or at least did today. ;)

Haha your ex-husband. Lol. I bloody love you. ^_^

misswitch April 13 2010, 11:52:55 UTC

I refer to him as 10.5, just because I refer to Ten as... ten. However, I absolutely can't stand the use of "Handy" as a name. It seems to bother me for some reason.
