If you were to name your cpap machine, what would it be?

Post by elena88 » Sat Jun 11, 2011 1:44 pm

JUST A F.T. (FUN THREAD)

Some people names their cars, we all name our pets, I even name the spiders in the corners..

so do you or have you thought of a name for your machine?

If you havent thought of one, toss some ideas out here!


Since many beginners are at odds with their machines, maybe giving it a "nice" name would help
break the ice with the relationship with their new "friend"

I never named my first machine (M Series Plus ) nor the M Series APAP I bought on CL. But when my new baby arrived, he deserved the great name I gave him (it's in my sig). Like freakin' magic, he is.

Oh, let's play anyway!
I was previously at a loss for an appropriate name; however,
I catch myself referring to it as 'Precious',as the Ring to Gollum;
because I would go raving mad without it.
(and, I might be a bit 'off' in any case.)

I've never been much into naming things, but if I was to name any of my XPAP "sleeping companions" it would be:

"B. J. Nightly"

To further play with some words...........She's a "Pro", too........as in REMstar Pro 2.
