He didn't do what he did "in the name of the Doctor", although that doesn't mean his name wasn't the Doctor (it could be equated to doing something in the name of the King or in the name of a religious figure), however both the title card at the end of Name of the Doctor and the credits at the end of Night of the Doctor directly call him the Doctor/the War Doctor. Based on the evidence we have at the moment, it is most logical to conclude he is the Doctor, or at least goes by that name in some form or another.
