    yeah i named my ipod...my computer is called Havelock which is the city leader from the Terry Pratchett Discworld series and my phone is called wuffles which is the name of his dog and my ipod is called Imp y Celyn, which is the name of a character from the books who becomes possessed by the very spirit of music.

    I name most things i own to be honest, just trying to think on a name for our new second hand car too...any ideas?

    You're not alone, Gnarwhal--I named my iPod too. My iPod is named Yes-I-said-Yes-I-will-Yes, which is the last sentence of James Joyce's novel Ulysses, one of the defining literary texts of the 20th century. You just keep right on naming things in any way that makes sense to you. I with you, sister!

    Gnar-

    AAAAAHHH! Another DiscWorlder!!!!! I'm not alone!!!!!!

    I saw him when he came to Seattle. He signed my first edition "Equal Rites" and signed under his picture (on the wall behind Vimes) in "Where's My Cow?" for SKnot. And he chatted with SKnot about computers.

    My car is Imp.

    Sorry for the thread drift, everyone. I just can't control myself.

    yup - tempted to name the car D!ck Turpin - because wherever i go i'm holding up traffic (shamelessly plundered from Pratchett/Gaiman's Good Omens)

    I love the italian sky name though it's very pretty. My bike is most definetely not a girl bike however and would never suit such a pretty name...
