I've taught a Romana (sadly her twin brother was Roman).

Romana is the female form of the Latin adjective meaning "Roman." So it's not surprising that it's a name.
Now, as far as I can tell, if her name is actually Romanavoratralundar, then her parents were Who-fans.

Flight cards must be a nightmare, especially with limited boxes to write in! |

I remember a letter in DWM a few years back, when somebody encountered a woman whose children were named Tegan, Nyssa and Adric......) Come to think of it, there was a Romana who was on Blue Peter for the time (perhaps they should've asked her to present "Totally Doctor Who", and not that other ex-Blue Peter presenter, who didn't exactly come across as thrilled to have got the 'Totally' job) |

"The Doctor" could likely be a real name, if you wanted it to.
I mean..."Hashtag" is. What's left after that?
