This reminds me of how some people name their genitals. That is just a bit too too cutesy. It probably is an attempt to distract participants from the seriousness of joining forces.
Besides, I consider my genitals an integral part of me and do not look favorably on any body part toying with separate identity.
Come to think of it, not even sure whether genitals are singular or plural. Don't much care long as he/she/it/they function as expected.
Can we spell thread h i j a c k ?
Oh all right, the topic: Although I haven't previously bestowed names on things on me or around the house or area, one exception has emerged in recent years: the Garvin Nuvi 350, Jill, for our favorite voice on the GPS navigator.
