I'm not sure if someone's asked this already, but have you been able to translate the Gallifreyan (gosh I'm bad at spelling) on the crib from Demon's Run?

The Gallifreyan on the Doctor's cot is not translatable. All forms of written Gallifreyan are fanmade and (until Sherman's Gallifreyan was recently used on Ncuti Gatwa's new Sonic) entirely noncanon.

Brittany G. made a form of Gallifreyan based on the design of the Doctor's cot (appropriately titled Doctor's Cot Gallifreyan) and my Linguist's Phonetic Gallifreyan is a variation on that, but as the art in Demon's Run was not written with any readable form of Gallifreyan in mind, we can still only speculate on the Doctor's birth name.
