Forgive me if this has already been answered, but I'm mainly a fan of TNG. and havnt watched an episode of Voyager in some time

 

anyway, did he deserve a name to be called by?

 

 

And what would you have called him?

Well, I don't think he was worthless but I also don't think he needed a mortal name. What was he called? EMP? Well I guess Emp will have to be his name, then :wink2:.

He's called the EMH, not the EMP :lol: :lol:

 

To me, he's just the "Holo-doc" or "The Doctor". I'm glad he never found a name. It'd have taken me years to get used to it. :frusty: I'm not good at remembering names anyway. :blush:

Shows how much I paid attention to Voyager.....

I thought he had a name.

Zimmerman something-or-other....

He was originally supposed to pick Zimmerman (early close captioning identifies him as Dr. Zimmerman). Interestingly enough, Jeri Ryan's real last name was Zimmerman.

 

The Doctor did go through a series of names, in alternate timelines and such. Schwitzer (Heroes and Demons), van Gogh & Mozart (Before and After), Schmullus (Lifesigns) (which Picardo wrote that the Doctor called himself from time to time), Joe (Endgame), and Kenneth (Real Life).

 

I just prefer to call him Doctor.

at least they didn't go " computer run hey you " and when they were done " computer end hey you." i liked him being called doctor. it was definitely better than hey you. his search for a name made him more enjoyable.

 

tm :lol:

I thought it stood for Emergency Medical Program. I always knew that might not have been right :wink2:

I liked him best as the ECH

 

Emergency Command Hologram.

 

but yah, he deserves a name.

 

But lacking a name was suitable for his character.

In Real Life (VGR), the Doctor's holo-family calls him Kenneth.

It's not a factor of whether he deserved a name or not. "The Doctor" effectively was his name for all intents and purposes and frankly I think that was the best name for him.

I believe that he deserved as name, after all, he is sentinent.

 

But I'm also quite used to call him for holo - doc or Doctor.

Even a dog deserves a name. I'd have probably named him Reed. I could see him as "Dr. Reed". It fits.

I was watching an episode from the Voyager box set.

Its the first season, 3rd disc

 

There was a problem with the Holo-Deck, and the Doc was sent on his first away mission.

 

He called himself

Swietser

 

I dont think I spelled it right

But thats a starrt I think!

Dr. Reed wouldn't really work now since we already have Malcolm Reed on Enterprise :(

Yes, of course. He had a lot of character development and he was able to grow as a person.

 

But actually, don't ask me that question because I named my calculator, my laptop and all of my stuffed animals. :(

Absolutely he deserved one. And in fact, they talked about it so often throughout some of the shows I'm really surprised they never gave him a name before the end..It would have been interesting to see him insist the crew call him by name..
