I come from a family of sailors. Our tradition of naming boats has spread to everything else in our lives. Many inanimate objects in our house have a name. My new CPAP machine is called Jones (after James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vadar) and my new mask is called Gonzo (which I think should be obvious!).
Anyone else crazy enough to do the same?
Amy.
Did you name your machine, mask, etc?
Re: Did you name your machine, mask, etc?
Nope, I have not

Kaa, after the snake in the Jungle Book who attempts to hypnotize Mogli into falling asleep .... And inspired in part by the fact that Kaa feels like a large stuffed toy snake to curl up with in his hose cozy since I run the hose under the covers and hold it most nights under my arm.

Kaa is a great name!

I'd kind of like to name mine, but I have no imagination!

No, I haven't named mine, but I do feel compelled to do scenes from "Top Gun" with my mask on.
"Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby.....That's a negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full."
Sometimes I pull my mask off dramatically and say "Talk to me Goose".

After my brother saw my hooked up to the hose, he said I looked like a Snuffleupagus. I have called it Snuffy ever since.
