River, who is a professor of archaeology and carries a TARDIS-colour/pattern diary of her adventures, is able to convince the Doctor of his future trust in her by whispering his real name into his ear, which he explains he would only divulge under rare circumstances.
For most of Silence In The Library/Forest Of The Dead, The Tenth Doctor is wary and distrustful of River Song and how much she knows of his future… until she whispers his true name in his ear.
What did the Doctor whisper to River? The Doctor whispered and I quote “Look into my eye” under the guise that he told her his name, however, his intention was to show her that he was actually inside of the Tesselecta and was perfectly safe from what was happening at Lake Silencio where he was supposed to die.
What did the Doctor whisper to the River in the Wedding of River song?
The Doctor marries River on the spot and whispers to her to look into his eye. There she sees the miniaturized Doctor and realizes that he is inside the Teselecta ship and will not actually die if time's flow is restored. He then requests that River allow him to prevent the universe's destruction.
Clara is the future child of the Doctor and River who's had her memory erased. The two Time Lords must be up to something on their nights away from River's prison cell.

What is River Song's secret?
In "A Good Man Goes to War", it is revealed that River is Amy and Rory's daughter Melody (Harrison and Maddison Mortimer), who was conceived in the TARDIS while it was in the Time Vortex and consequently carries Time Lord DNA.
Although there were parallels between Oswin and Clara Oswin, it was their similar deaths that sparked the Eleventh Doctor to begin his investigation into her identities - coining the "Impossible Girl" term after realizing that it shouldn't have been possible for him to run into the same woman when she had died twice.
PROSE: The Trial of Doctor Who is the only valid story, as this Wiki defines it, that explicitly confirms that "∂³Σx²" is the Doctor's true name. However, this name has not been widely accepted.
Theta Sigma – or ΘΣ, if you're feeling flash – was the nickname given to the Doctor at the Time Lord Academy on Gallifrey, according to Drax, a student contemporary from “the class of '92” who the Fourth Doctor bumped into again during The Armageddon Factor.
One reason for the secrecy is because all Time Lords keep their names a secret, a fact that the Timeless Child story could affect, but since the Doctor was raised on Gallifrey their rules would still be followed. Another story says the Doctor and the Master purposely erased their names.
River doesn't recognise the Twelfth Doctor as the Doctor because "he has limits", referring to the Time Lords' twelve-regenerations limit first mentioned in The Deadly Assassin (1976).
River reveals her parentage – A Good Man Goes to War (again) Just as she is born as "Melody Pond" (see No. 1), the older River, now a married woman, reveals who her mum and dad are: Amy and Rory.
Since Doctor Who is presented through the title character's own chronology, River Song's time-jumping antics fall seemingly at random, and the two characters regularly have to compare diaries in order to feel out where they stand in each other's timeline.
If any character in Doctor Who can be considered the Doctor's true love, it is surely Alex Kingston's River Song. Her history with the Doctor is complicated, since their travels through time meant they almost always met out of order.
The Doctor took her to the balcony to see the Singing Towers where River revealed that she'd heard rumours that this was the last night they spent together though the Doctor refused to confirm it. He eventually told her that night on Darillium was twenty-four years long, giving them plenty of time on their last date.
No-one outside of the Doctor Who TV show universe (real life) knows the Doctor's true name. Even within the show's universe only a select few know it; River Song, other Time Lords, Clara Oswald at one point. I doubt that it is ever revealed. The Doctor even says that it's unpronounceable.
So it had to be the Doctor's own choice to have River by his side at his death and to give her the secret of his name, perhaps as part of some sacred Gallifreyan tradition ("only one reason...
"Patience" was the name given by Tegan Jovanka to the Gallifreyan wife of Omega and the Doctor — both the Doctor as he existed prior to being the First Doctor, and the bespectacled Doctor who resided on Gallifrey at a much later point in his life in an anomalous timeline.
Georgia Moffett, who plays Jenny, is the real-life daughter of Fifth Doctor actor Peter Davison and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy actress Sandra Dickinson.
The Gallifreyan alphabet was created by a fan of Dr. Who named Loren Sherman. They created this way of writing so they could transform English words to mimic the artistic representations of the Doctor's native language, Gallifreyan. It is not used by the show and is not a real language.
Plot. Clara phones Danny, ready to admit the full truth of her travelling with the Twelfth Doctor and that she sincerely loves Danny. Danny is killed by a passing car midway through the call. Visibly upset, Clara schemes to use a hypnotic patch on the Doctor to blackmail him into saving Danny.
Ultimately, the Doctor had to have his memory of Clara wiped to allow her to return to Trap Street and restore the timeline. But not before Clara, in a stolen TARDIS from Gallifrey, flew off with immortal companion Ashildr, for her own adventures in time and space!
In a spring 2015 interview, Steven Moffat indicated that the Doctor had never stopped being "besotted" with Clara, and that he "loves them (companions) more than they love him".
