 Charlie My laptop is named after Charlie Bucket of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie Brown and Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Initially, it was just named after Charlie Bucket but I decided that my good ol' laptop represented all three: the good, the hopeful (with some bad luck), and the awkward. Which, in a way, describes me. Plus, I really just like the name Charlie because it feels friendly and warm with a bit of charm. Henry My camera is named after Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Jr., aka Indiana Jones. It's for the many adventures I go on, for the sights I see, for the memories I want to remember, and for the daring (and not so daring) moments I want to capture. Henry's got my back with his fedora and whip. PJ the DJ My iPod is named after the late, great news anchor Peter Jennings. I grew up watching him every night on ABC so to me, he was the news anchor. Anyway, Peter was a disc jockey at one point in his life by the same name. And I also like it because I can say, "PJ the DJ spins my tunes." Which he does almost everyday. So, I'm kind of hoping that I'm not the only one that has names for inanimate objects... because I do realize how nerdy it is. I guess for me, it makes them feel more like my buddies rather than these objects I have and carry around. Okay, well, that just made me sound nerdier. Do you have names for your gadgets?

PJ the DJ is a great name for an iPod.
I used to name all of my things, but I've really fallen off the wagon. My poor car doesn't even have a name. My first car was named James. I named him after Lance from NSYNC whose real first name is James (don't laugh), but that's embarrassing so I told everyone that I named him James, because I thought it was a good name for a driver, and I liked climb in my car and say, "home, James!"
My iPod is named George Michael. That's all I've got.
My iPod is named Tertius after Dr. Lydgate in Middlemarch, and my external hard drive is named Mucho Maas after Oedipa's husband in The Crying of Lot 49. But my laptop and cameras do not have names. Still, you are not alone.
