... I was right... -_____________________________-;;
Well, let's see, then... ... I think you sort of lost me there. Unless you're suggesting one of the things Jack lost in his two years was his name as well?
*blinku* I actually thought that's what happened in canon. Regardless of what happens, I would think that one's name is not something one would forget unless it's an extenuating circumstance (i.e. amnesia), so I was under the impression that that was the "why" Jack forgot his name...
... okei, so I see why "Harkness-Jones" is something Ianto would want... alphabetical indeed... *grins*
In private he can be Mrs Jones-Harkness!
*snort* Don't think Jack would have any objection - Mrs. Ianto Jones-Harkness... *chuckles* So I guess I'll be going with the Harkness-Jones, then... There seem to be valid reasons for both (Harkness not being Jack's real name and Jones-Harkness not working with Jack's name - Jack Jones-Harkness...)...
I never got the impression that Jack forgot his real name, more that he adopted "Captain Jack Harkness" for the London con, and he just kept it after he started traveling with The Doctor and Rose. *scratches head*
Okay, so I watched until Jack's name came into play between Jack and John and it's proven for a fact that John didn't know his former-whatever's name until Jack introduced himself as "Captain Jack Harkness" - bar fight scene...
In fact, you're right. It wasn't until the 9th Doctor and Rose meet him during the London Blitz that he's going by the name Jack Harkness (which is later proven that he took his name for the original Captain Jack Harkness, a soldier during WWII and that Jack Harkness ia an alias), so, he's going by a name that isn't his. Therefore, it leads me to think that either he knows what his name is before and after the wipe-out, but took on the name Jack Harkness when he got stuck in the 1940s and thus continued to go by it (and forgot his real name because he wanted to be a hero) OR that he doesn't actually remember his name since it was wiped-out...

In this case, you can make it so publicly, they are Harkness-Jones, but in private, Jack can be "Mr. Jones-Harkness"...
In private he can be Mrs Jones-Harkness!

I just never got the idea that he forgot his name, especially since he and John Hart 'introduce' themselves after their make-out session/bar fight.
I am going to address that, though.

Yeah, now that I think about it, the whole stuck-in time-loop with John HAS to be before Doctor and Rose, so if John's calling him "Jack," then...
*blinku*
Actually, I'm gonna go see KKBB again... I don't actually remember him addressing Jack by name at all!
*salutes* Roger that! I'll comment again after I watch the episode! *waves*
