It's all fine. Just a heads up.

What I meant was that the character has been known by many names over the years. Yes, of course, we don't know if they knew themselves as Doctors as well. I guess why I said it is because of a combination of Hartnell's Doctor calling himself the First Doctor and the fact that "Morbius Doctors" is an agreed upon term throughout all of fandom and not an official name. I don't think anything states officially that these 8 versions knew themselves as *the Doctor'.
