Talk:Dr. Hooves/@comment-96.231.130.191-20120713032903

Apparently, as of at least 7/11/12, his "official" (we've heard that before) name is "Dr. Hooves", with "Dr." abbrieviated, and "Hooves" without a "w".

But forget the "w"-less "Hooves" solution, here's a way to make sense of the problem with my personal solution:

Story Title: "Doctor Who" Character Name: "the Doctor" Character Alias: "John Smith"

Story Title: "Doctor Whooves" Character Name: "the Doctor" Character Alias: "Time Turner"

"Doctor Who" isn't used for a character, it's just the story title, so why should "Doctor Whooves" be any different? (At least if he's the real Doctor who's been tranformed into a pony and trapped in Equestria, which I say he is.) He's still "the Doctor", he just says his name is "Time Turner" so he can fit in while in Ponyville and not raise suspision. He even played along and laughed at Twilight when she talked about time travel.

But, if he's just an ordinary pony named as a side reference by the unseen "gods" of this cartoon pony world (a.k.a. the story writers) and not actually an equine-form Time Lord, I guess "Dr. Hooves" will do.
