===Name=== A recurring theme in the Doctor's life is his lack of a proper name. Starfleet did not assign a name to him, and initially, the Doctor claims that he does not want one, until the episode "[[Eye of the Needle (Star Trek: Voyager)|Eye of the Needle]]", when he asks Kes to give him a name. He later adopts such names as "Schweitzer" (after [[Albert Schweitzer]]); "Shmullus" (in "[[Lifesigns (Star Trek: Voyager)|Lifesigns]]" by [[Vidiian]] patient Dr. Denara Pel); "Van Gogh"; "Kenneth"; "Jones"; and several others. His friends suggest the famous historical Earth doctors "[[Galen]]" and "[[Benjamin Spock|Spock]]". The captioned dialog of early episodes, and early promotional material for the series premiere, refer to him as "Dr. Zimmerman", after his creator, Lewis Zimmerman. The Doctor is ultimately referred to as simply "The Doctor" and addressed as "Doctor" or "Doc", which he answers to without concern, and the issue of the Doctor's name virtually disappears over the course of the series. However, in the [[Endgame (Star Trek: Voyager)|series finale]], in an alternate future timeline the Doctor has finally chosen the name "Joe" after his new wife's grandfather (and Picardo's [[Robert_Picardo#Early_life|own father]]). Tom Paris remarks about this choice: "it took you ''33 years'' to come up with '''Joe''{{'}}?".
