Been on my mind for a while now, but are the terms 'John Doe' and 'Jane Doe' still appropriate in modern society as it assumes the gender identity of a corpse. Should we be thinking about Jo Doe as an option as Jo can be short for Joseph or Joanna? If you'd permit me to stray from a J based replacement, perhaps Alex or Bobbie are also suitable gender unbiased options for mystery cadavers?

Dodo covers all eventualities
Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |

Too many American cop shows, do British cops call them John Doe?
One more point |

This has given me food for thought, thank you. It's a minefield out there and the last thing I want to do is upset a corpse, especially one that has died so anonymously.

Muhammad doe, Kim doe, Nelson Doe , Isaac Doe ? Can we safely assume a John Doe is a male body that was uncircumcised ? And what about the flying spaghetti monster ? As a gluten intolerant pastafarian , I am incensed. Edited by PalazioVecchio (13 Aug 2023 1.10pm)
