I'm making some changes which will emphasize that he is narcissistic but also a fantastically talented doctor.

[edit] Percival 'Perry' Cox

I think the comment in episode 2.20 does prove Cox's true first name to be Percival. Bob Kelso's true first name (Robert) is not questioned, even though it is rarely mentioned in the show. Also, the accuracy of IMDB on this can be questioned, as the 2.20 page lists 'Ted Buckland' as that character's true name (his real name being Theodore.) I would agree with Lachatdelarue's suggestion. Percival should not be listed as a nickname, but the opening lines of the article should mention the speculation about Pervical/Perry as his name.

I don't understand this or the entry on the actual article. Perry is short for Percival, like Nick is short for Nicholas, and Beth or Liz is short for Elizabeth. It's very simple. Why is there discussion about a nickname, etc. - why be confusing? Why even have that last section, why not just put it at the top somewhere - "Percival (Perry) Cox"? And then refer to him as Perry for the rest of the article because that is what he appears to normally go by. Kiriki 03:45, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Actualy Percy is short for Percival, but that doesn't matter. JD's name is John Dorian, does that automatically mean his full name is Jonathan? Not neccessarly. It's whatever your parents decide to call you (or what the writers choose to call you). --Ted87 16:14, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I think the fact that two characters have referred him to by the name Percival is evidence enough that it's his full first name. Jeff Silvers 01:05, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso

Isn't it interesting that Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso grew up within 15 minutes of each other (Perry in Pittsburgh and Bob in Monroeville, Pennsylvania)? Should this be mentioned in one of their articles? Mmace91 00:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peculiarities

He doesn't just call JD by a girl's name when he's angry. He does it all the time. He just uses the name "Newbie" more when he's in a good mood. I think that the article should be reworded to reflect that he's not always upset when he calls JD by a girl's name.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.14.185.176 (talk • contribs).
