Forum:Married Companions

Some, such as Jo Jones, use the married name, but others, like Evelyn Smythe, retain the original name.

Should we not have some consistency? TemporalSpleen talk to me 20:25, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds -- Ralph Waldo Emerson. Boblipton talk to me 00:16, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

I think it just depends on what name the character uses. In Death of the Doctor, Jo was shown to have taken Cliff's last name, but Gwen and Amy are both shown to have kept their maiden names in every episode after their weddings. I don't know anything about Evelyn Smythe though, so I'm not sure whether this helps or not.Icecreamdif talk to me 03:15, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Evelyn is specifically called Evelyn Rossiter in Thicker than Water, and in terms of televised companions Barbara's page still uses "Wright" TemporalSpleen talk to me 17:31, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think that Barbara was ever shown to have taken any other name though.Icecreamdif talk to me 19:06, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Death of the Doctor: Sarah Jane refers to Ian and Barbara Chesterton. TemporalSpleen talk to me 21:08, January 20, 2012 (UTC)
