I name all of my sundry gadgetries. I name lots of other inanimate objects too, but anything electronic seems to pull on my cognomenative instincts more than usual.
Therefore, allow me to present:
Ramses- laptop
Spike- ipod (deceased)
Firefly- ipod
Penelope- U.S. phone
Mathilda- China phone
Eggy- mouse
Nathaniel- earbuds
Kingsley- thumb drive
Eurydice- camera
...Perhaps I should not be allowed to name my kids, if I have any. They'd probably have lovely, meaningful, but hard to pronounce or spell names that they'd all hate. Maybe there should be a review board?
