Schweitzer was the first name chosen (and shortly after renounced) by the Doctor.
Kes suggested that the Doctor choose a name before going on his "first away mission" (in the holodeck) as it "might help [him] feel more like a Starfleet officer". The Doctor first used the name when introducing himself to the holo-character Freya. He later renounced the name to Captain Janeway, saying that "the last time I heard that name spoken was a painful one... I don't think I want to be reminded". (VOY: "Heroes and Demons")
Nevertheless, the Doctor would still consider the name in a discussion with Kes, among other names such as Pyong Ko, Jarvik and Pasteur. (VOY: "Fury")
