*sigh* I've stated some facts about this thing before and it comes down to two scenarios
1. The Doctor's name is Tim and it is only mentioned as a sidenote in a discussion in BTN (no other HM game). Things that support this scenario are:
* "Who would make sandwiches for a dog?"
** The dialogue was heard before Stu got a puppy named Tim, meaning that Ellen must be talking about the Doctor with-no-name.
2. The doctor's name is a mystery, Ellen talks about Elli making sandwiches for Stu's puppy. This conversation happening before Stu getting the puppy is a design glitch. The game designers didn't consider someone befriending Ellen and getting the recipe from her before Stu gets the puppy (punches down **). Supporting this:
+ Making sandwiches for a dog is not that unusual. Especially in HM universe, where the relationship between animals and humans is very warm. Punches down *
++ There have been no duplicte names in the same HM game, if Tim was Doc's name then the puppy would be named something else.
+++ The doctor's name isn't mentioned anywhere else in the HM universe.
++++ HM games are translated from Japanese and typos, translation errors and glitches are common.
Just ask yourselves this, which one of these scenarios, 1 or 2, is more likely?
