Howling:Water References

It has come to my attention through re-watching the new series of Doctor Who that there are a number of references, particularly in the names of companions, to bodies of water. They are as follows;


 * River Song


 * Jackson Lake


 * Adelaide Brooke


 * Amy Pond

What these names mean is, as of yet, a mystery to me, though the connection to "The Waters of Mars" may be relevant, as two people who were supposed to die on Mars no longer did.


 * Please sign your posts! Type "~" four times to do this. But this is an interesting pattern. I think you may be on to something. River Song, of course, showed up in the Moffat-penned Silence in the Library. Monkey with a Gun 06:17, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Steven Moffat said it was a conicidence when asked about the water-theme. Delton Menace 07:51, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I'm sure there's some Freudian explanation for why his subconscious keeps coming up with water-related names....

Also, now that everyone's pointed it out to him repeatedly, he might decide to make it mean something. But I expect that if he does deal with it at all, it'll only be as a joke--maybe River Song or Amy Pond will make a joke about the Doctor's Freudian obsession with water names, ask him if he's a big Veronica Lake fan, say "Let's go back to the 1980s and meet Billy Ocean," etc. --99.37.227.199 09:34, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

It might have started as a coincidence, but I think that if it keeps coming now that he's aware, it's going to mean something. (If I see someone coming up with a name like del Rio or Bay or Marsh, I'm going to keep an eye on them.) (Unsigned)

Better watch out for Haff, too. A haff is a variety of lagoon and, as it's not a well known word, might be used to try to slip one past us. 2.96.18.149 18:01, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
