My pump is Harriet, the secretary, because I go folk dancing, and don't usually hear it when it beeps (I have a CGM, too, which makes the pump beep), and one of my friends does, and she always says, "Harriet is paging you!". So I guess it has to be Harriet. My meter is Cleetus with Diabeetus, my lancer device is Attila the Hun, and my CGM serter (long and thin) is Abbott, and my set-serter (short and round) is Costello (this one is only for the oldies among us). You'd think I'd have a name for my car, too, but I don't! LOL!

I've named my GPS (Sally), motorcycle (Green Dragon) and Dexcom unit (Dex - I know, how original) but not named by pump. I'll have to think on that one.

When I was a kid I used to feel sorry for all animals, but also for inanimate objects. So it was a struggle for me to ever throw things away.. Let's just say there's a little bit of me that still has those feelings so I'm definitely better off not naming things. It's bad enough I hold conversations with my cat, Lula including what she would say if she could talk, and am 100% sure of that! (there's a lot of "oh, mama!" said in that teenage whiny voice with eye-rolling, followed by a conciliatory "I know you want what's best for me" that no mother of a human teenager has ever heard!)

See - utterly nuts and naming objects would only exacerbate the problem!

It's actually a well-kept secret in the mental health field that therapists encourage their schizophrenic clients to talk back to the voices they hear in their heads - and you wonder who is running the asylum!!

My pump is Fred (short for Fred Astaire) and my meter is Gene (Gene Kelly.)

I used to call mine Arnold, because "it pumped me up" but I changed it to Sookie from True Blood when I got my Ping. She's pink and feminine but strong!

My son named his first pump Cyborg, but hasn't named his new pump. He feels so robotic with all his equipment!

Mine is Pinkie.... LOL Well my M-I-L helped name it when I was getting on it and I had to politely tell her not all my family knew about it at that point and not to post it to the world on Facebook... Pinkie got it's name... :)

I'm not sure if there is other gamers around but I named my pump GlaDOS. Grab a copy of the game Portal and you'll get the jokes. She's always testing you and trying to kill you. I figured it was appropriate.

How did you get your meter to call your pump GLaDOS?

haha yes, except she's your pump shouldn't be trying to kill you, if it is I'd call the manufacturer c(-=
