What Did You Name Your Sleeve?

I am hijacking off another thread, but I have seen several people have named their sleeve. Haven't picked one for my soon to be made sleeve, so I need some good ideas!

"The Bouncer" ....too much...too fast..........out the door!

Great topic. I am thinkimg through names as well. I have 3 sons and 4 grandsons so you can bet I will be choosing a girlie name!

Sleevie Ray Vaughan

I know people are having fun with this, but let me tell you why I would never consider naming the sleeve. It is still my stomach, it is still me, it is just a smaller stomach. I am working to de-emphasize food and eating in my life, to make it just be a normal way to get sustainance. I just feel like naming it gives it too much focus, too much of a centerstage and potentially, too much power (in my own mind).

That's how I feel about weighing myself more than twice a month, and I think twice a month is extreme.

I like the idea of naming it. For me humor helps me tremendously when it comes to something I struggle with. So I am gonna name it, I just need to come up with something funny.

Someone in the August sleevers group named mine "Isaac" because my surgery was on Aug 27 in New Orleans during the hurricane.

I was talking about this with my mom yesterday, she said I should name mine "Tiny" or "Slim" which both kinda made me laugh. I have not decided on a name, but I do kinda like Slim =p I'll think on it some more and look through this thread as it grows.

Umm. All I can come up w is "banana pouch"

Def need something bc I was sleeved on 8/9 and have had a terrible time these last couple of weeks w a sinus infection messing w everything.

Can't wait to see more names!

LOL.. This is great! Keep the names coming. It's a great laugh. Still thinking of what to name mine. Two types of sleevers are really sticking out to me lately, the analyzing and the lets throw in some humor and cuteness to get through this. I will definetely name my sleeve and I will have a cutesy doggie bag for yummy leftovers that will make multiple meals.. And I will still lose weight and be successful. :) Sleevie ray vaughan bwahahahahah love it... maybe SLeevie Nicks too!! Slevette, Sleevietta, Sleveline, Minnie, Austin Growlers, Sleeva (like diva if she is picky), Pouchie, ok, i will stop now... hehehehe

Eva the Diva (: too much drama (complications) with my surgery not to haha!

My husband has named mine "Tim the Tapeworm". He says he is going to tell people I got a tapeworm when he is asked about my weightloss. My husband has a unique sense of humor... :). I don't even get sleeved until October 9.

Sleeverella is the plan when I am sleeved. Transforming from the girl hidden in the attic made to feel like an ugly mess to a beautiful princess ( already married my prince charming, did it out of order, sue me, LOL!!!)
