There's a bit too much of the ontological paradox (I mean, really, Melody Pond causes her parents to start going out, and then is named after herself?)
I don't have a major problem with this in small doses, or if handled in an entertaining way (like in the last episode of the previous series, where the reason the Doctor has a mop with him when he goes back in time to talk to talk to Rory is because future Rory has told him that he had a mop with him when he appeared).

Similarly ontological and ouroboric things happen to a particular character in Babylon 5. (Link contains spoilers for a 15-year-old episode of B5.)

I'm not sure it's a paradox this time, even - I think she went back and wrote herself in (as the cause of things which had originally happened without her intervention). Hence the best friend they'd never even mentioned to the Doctor, and so on.

Also, Amy's childhood got entirely rewritten at the end of last season when she remembered her parents who hadn't been there the first time around.
