What's Up with Joy Anna Duggar? '19 Kids and Counting's Younger Daughter Has Grown Up Before Our Eyes. In a family of 19 children, you probably get used to having to share the spotlight with your brothers and sisters, and nobody understands that better than the pint-sized stars of TLC's 19 Kids & Counting.
That's right: Doctor Strange's real name is Doctor Strange. More precisely, it's Stephen Vincent Strange. As Stephen Strange, Doctor Strange actually became a real Doctor, so, technically, his real name is the same as his superhero name.
Doctor Who spin-off media have suggested that the character uses the name the Doctor because his actual name is impossible for humans to pronounce. For instance in the novel Vanderdeken's Children, it's told that the Doctor already told Sam his real name which is entirely alien and virtually unpronounceable.
