By forum consensus, the titles of articles about individual characters should be the name by which the character was most commonly known in the Doctor Who universe. If a full name is provided, though is not generally used, the body text of the article itself should start with it. For example, the article should be named "Amy Pond", but should begin with:
- "Amelia Jessica Pond, more commonly called Amy Pond, was a companion of ..."
Multiple forum and talk page discussions agree that characters who get married do not generally have their articles renamed to assume the last name of their spouse. The clearest example of this is Gwen Cooper, who's never seriously referred to as "Gwen Williams". But it also applies to Amy Pond, especially since an explicit joke is made about the matter in the script of The Big Bang. Similarly, although Katy Manning's character is credited as Jo Jones in TV: Death of the Doctor, she had many more appearances as Jo Grant, so that is what her article is titled. The same applies to Donna Temple-Noble, whose article is at Donna Noble. However, we encourage editors to use common sense; there may be exceptions to this general rule, which should be discussed and dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
