I'm not really a DoctorRose shipper, but here's a very unlikely but still technically possible thought:

If, per The Legend of Ruby Sunday, Susan really is the daughter of a future child of the Doctor...

...and her original name really is "Arkytior", ie. the Gallifreyan equivalent of "Rose"...

...there's an argument to be made that, like Rose Temple-Noble (ironically, herself arguably a relative of the Doctor in a roundabout way, via the metacrisis), Susan might have been originally named after Rose Tyler.

#Doctor Who #The Legend of Ruby Sunday #Roses #DWM #Susan Foreman #Arkytior #Rose Tyler #DoctorRose #Rose Temple-Noble #DW Theory #DW Meta #this...almost feels like RTD's intention #not really #because “Arkytior” is a pretty niche bit of lore #and I doubt even he'd ever go for such a throwback-y plot detail involving not one but two past companions #but he did technically name the first companion of the revival the same thing as the first companion of the classic series #and now I think about it #he arguably did the same thing with the 2023 soft-reboot with Rose Temple-Noble #hmm...#cue the theories that actually she's the granddaughter of Rose and TenTwo #named after her grandmother #and this also explains why Alex Campbell's DNA contains so much human DNA and not Time Lord DNA
