(fanboyism is the runner-up.)<br /> <br /> My computers are named Titania (the desktop) and Puck (the PowerBook) and I&#8217;ve named my router Sneezle, not that it matters. My printer is named Oola, legacy of my original computer-naming scheme, which was Asimov; literally, in the case of my first ever PC, whose name was Isaac! My second computer was Norby, and therefore the printer was named Oola after the All-Purpose Pet in the Norby books.<br /> <br /> Oh, and I named my celphone Sylph (it had to have a name for bluetooth). In keeping with the whole faerye theme. <br /> <br /> Sometimes I think my gadget-lust is partially fueled by the desire to name more things.<br /> <br /> And therefore, returning to the point at hand, I don&#8217;t think you lack creativity.<br /> <br /> And your support of &#8216;pookie&#8217; is noted. I&#8217;m afraid it&#8217;s started creeping in as a nonsense word, too, today. <strong>sob</strong></p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/word-monsters-from-the-id#comment-1649 2005-03-08T18:22:13+00:00 2005-03-08T18:22:13+00:00 <p>In fact, I named my first computer that. Not that I&#8217;m very creative with the computer names. My PB is named shiny and the computer I built myself is johnny5 after the <i>Short Circuit</i> robot.</p> aakepley
