I would just like to know, are there any men here who've named their Kindle's? While I'm quite confident and comfortable in my masculinity, I'm having great difficulty deciding whether or not to name my Kindle much less refer to it by name!  Here's an idea: what if i just treat it as a son or daughter and that way I just refer to it as my "Kindle", the same way I'd refer to my son as...well...my "son?"  Even if I did name it, it would have to be this cool, strong, imposing, fear-inducing name!  Thoughts? Advice? Criticism?  Just thought I'd throw this topic out there!  |

At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up.
After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.

HUH-larious Bacardi!!!
(Sorry, can't call you by that other title...it just feels....awkward?!) LMAO!!
As a professional sailor, you can guess I'd me more comfortable with the bacardi (sailor-->pirate-->rum!)
As far as the "Only a girlie-mahn namez hiz Kindle, ja!"....epic!
Sandypeach, I actually live in Ventura County and Erle is know as "Ventura, California's most famous son" according to one website! (I didn't know that...a quick "google" provided that tidbit!) But quite a small world, eh?!

 Then perhaps I can interest you in this FABULOUS boat? It comes fully loaded with both port and starboard gunwales, an ergonomically-designed tiller and the latest in wind-power technology! |

Just call him Bud and be done with it...no one will know if you mean bud as in buddy or bud as in Budweiser; either way it'll sound guy-cool.

There's "trimming" involved. It's a whole bizarre Judaic ritual. But only a prelude of when your Kindle turns thirteen! |

Hi Cillasi, welcome! Good to have you here. I am still trying to remember what was the useful hint you posted over on Amazon a week or so ago. LOL. Leslie |

Being a Star Wars fan (and a lover of Chewbacca and Wookies in general) almost every electronic device I own is named something wookie of Chewie releated. My kindle is boringly named Literate Chewie. My iPod was named Musical Chewie. Like I said, boring.

You could just name it after an old nickname you used to have. That's what I did. Or you can think up the most odd or random thing that is funny and going along with that...Or name your Kindle after a superhero. TheHulk or Mansquito lol
Mansquito is a scifi movie my classmates used to tease all the time

Nope. I’ve never felt the need to name anything that wouldn’t come when I call it. And yes, my cat comes when I call it. Especially if I add the word “treat.” Jim—nice Monkey Island reference.  Mike |
