I know we haven't actually met her yet but I am curious.
Amy was known as "the girl who waited" because she waited all night in her garden for the doctor when she was 7. 11 also affectionately called her "Pond" and she in turn called the 11th incarnation "Raggedy Man". They used the names for the final time just before she died in New York

Clara Oswald was "the impossible girl" because of the whole echoes time line thing.

So what will 12 call Bill ? apart from the obvious pretty sure it will be short for her first name Billie. Neat trick introducing her on William Shakespeares birthday and the 400th anniversary of his death.

Only a few more months before we find out more about 12,s new friend.
What nickname would you like to give her ?.

The ordinary girl with no complicated story-arc.

Hopefully.

"The hair".

I thought that "Bill" was the nickname.

Bill is her nickname/ Hated "The Impossible girl"name for Clara.

Don't forget "The Only Mystery Worth Solving". LOL! Clara was ridiculous.

"That smug bitch that needs to leave to make way for her successor."

- circa May 2017, probably.

It's gotta be asBill. Everyone loves asBill.

Not a Clara nickname, but the entire Human race - sorry.

Here's hoping.


Me too. People don't usually have 'Bill' on their birth certificates (though of course it is entirely possible).

Would be more interesting to know her actual full name. Is it Billie? Belinda? something altogether different?.

Belinda is the obvious one.... but it could be something like Wilhelmina...

In fact, Wilhelmina is my official guess!!

In the instance that I am thinking of, it is said specifically about Clara.

"The Doctor hopes empathic psychic Emma Grayling may be able to shed some light on Clara's unique existence, the Doctor goes to 1974, where Emma and her future husband Prof. Alec Palmer are investigating a ghost known as the Witch of the Well, in Caliburn mansion. The Doctor borrows Alec's camera and uses the TARDIS to take pictures of the mansion's location throughout time. The journey is too much for Clara as she graples with the nature of her existence. As the Doctor puts it; "You are the only mystery worth solving.""

He does refer to Clara at least this once (and I think other times, but this is the one that I specifically remember) as "The Only Mystery Worth Solving".



Edit: I took this to mean that The Doctor is specifically talking about Clara and her many fractured existences. And I still believe that my interpretation is correct. (And the summary above agrees with me.) However, after re-reading the transcript, I can see how you could read it or hear it to mean all of humanity. I think that I am right, but, it is vague enough that I could be convinced otherwise.
