Why doesn't The Doctor call himself John Smith anymore?

    The same reason he doesn't use Psychic Paper anymore
    The same reason no previous Doctor's (except David Tennant) are coming back for the 50th
    The same reason no previous companions (except Billie Piper) are coming back for the 50th
    The same reason Clara is The Rani/Romana/Susan/Jenny
    The show is doesn't care about it's history

    Possibly because Matt's surname is Smith and it would be too much of an in-joke.

    Hmmm has Matt Smith ever used psychic paper before?

    because the Doctor tends to use that name when he goes undercover,and doesn't want people to know who he is

    Yes, he did. And actually 'John Smith' also made an appearance in that episode. When the Doctor was trying to pull out the psychic paper when faced with a bunch of the 'vampires' he pulled his library card instead, which had a picture of the 1st Doctor and the name 'John Smith' on it.
