Incidentally if she’s an egg, I’m guessing she’s a Gallifreyan egg. Partly because, as just mentioned, we have a precedent with the TARDIS, but also since this is the anniversary and there should be a fair bit of ‘going back to the beginning’ around. Besides, the mysterious figure wrote Gallifreyan and she is so cleverly constructed that the Doctor can't understand her.
Shot in the dark, but she seems to exist across time and space, her insides are different from her outsides, she even has a signature color . . . I wonder if she could be a TARDIS egg? And if so, is she descended from a Gallifreyan TARDIS, or is she something the Silence made? (Actually, the two aren't mutually exclusive at all, since the memory-proof aliens—call them the Silents to distinguish them from the religious sect—appear to be technological scavengers rather than creators. It would be completely in character for them to kit-bash something together from Gallifreyan tech and human DNA and whatever else was handy.)
(“names are the consequences of things”)
Having watched the episode, one thing that jumped out at me and shouted, "Look at me!" is that Clara Oswald just chose the name Oswin. In Moffat-land, renaming is one of the most significant things there is. So I'd say that it's pretty important—and hopeful!—that Clara just named herself God's friend rather than God's power.
