I wholly agree with your first paragraph, but I think your parenthetical is stretching things just a bit. It's probably not that that "Melody Pond" was a name derived from a birth certificate. There's just a bit of a difference between a birth engineered by a breakaway sect of the Silence that happened on a space station, and a perfectly ordinary one that happened in Wales. :)
