HelpRe: Naming inanimate objects
in reply to a message by ari.
Yes
My phones, my laptops and my storage drives all have names to help me recognise which one is for which thing. Writing a while list of contents for the storage drive became unrealistic, so I attributed a name and eventually I associate a name with the type of storage
My phones and laptops have names primarily to do with colour, but not always. My current phone is called Opalline because it's got a shiny white back to it with hints of colour reflected in the light. My laptop is called Fat Pikachu because I wanted to use this icon and I did;
My storage drives have a theme of being named old lady names; Wilhelmina, Vera, Beatrice, Ethel etc I try to use one first letter only once
If I need to do a storage backup or find something, I normally say, "I need to consult the girls / [name]" which helps me to make a boring task a little bit less boring
And of course I named my stuffed toys. I can't say I was very imaginative as a child and some of them came pre-named (one of which is the romani slur black cat). These otherwise includes; Spot the dalmatian dog, Patches the tortoise shell cat (these two are married), Mitzi the purple poodle who is the muscle of the group, Sean the doberman, Bernie the brown kitten, Molly the white fur-real friends cat and her kittens Cuddles (white) Tiddles (grey) Cuddles (ginger) and Jasper (grey). Jasper was faulty out of the box, but I insisted he was just as special as Molly's other kittens. There's more, but I'll leave it here
