Cool Does anyone else nickname their stuff?
I was just wondering. I'm always nicknaming my things (mainly my gadgets). E.g:
-MacBook = Maccington
-HTC Magic (my phone) = Merlin
-PS3 = Gloss
-Bluetooth headset for PS3 = Chatty the 2nd (Chatty the 1st died lol)
-Desktop PC = The dinosaur
-iPod Touch = Podsy
-Our car (Renault Scenic) = Reney

Lol am I the only person who does stuff like this??

the only thing I can think of is this trend our friends had with naming our iPods with names beginning with P.

I had Percy, a green nano, but he died, and so did the trend. My yellow one is called Sonny.

I normally hate them but I like the one living in my mirror. It keeps me company on long journeys or when waiting at traffic lights

Aww well I think you should name the next one beginning with the letter T (you know like going down the alphabet?)?

Lol my iPod is called Podsy or Podpod but I don't use him anymore cause he's broken - I dropped him and now he only plays music out of one ear, with every pair of headphones. So I'm saving up for a new one and he shall be called Podsy the 2nd!

Nope, and I do have things that are precious to me, I just never felt the urge to call my stuff by a different name. I call my boots - boots, my laptop - laptop, my phone is just my phone, I guess I'm a bit boring that way.

Naa you're not boring, I've always thought I was weird nicknaming stuff. My family/mates look at me funny when I say hi to my MacBook lol. But thats not the worst thing I do, I actually hug Maccington (MacBook) every day and talk to him lol. I'm very strange.
