Does your sleeve have a name?

Noticed some people's Sleeves have names.... Does yours and does it help to name them?

I gave my arthritis a name - Arthur - and it did help when it was bad to be able to complain to him personally :-)))))

      I didn't name my sleeve but I named the part of the stomach that they cut out. I called him "fat bastard" and kicked him to the curb....

      This thread reminds me of a friend of mine who named her GPS system's voice "Horace Vandergelder", after the cranky character from "Hello, Dolly". I think I might use that as a sleeve name, and talk

    My sleeve is named georgette, she is very refined. When someone offers me something to eat, I say " georgette does not like that" or "georgette prefers water".

    Mine is called Siobhan. She's a very good girl except she won't let me have enough fibre to poop. I imagine her as a very slim, freckly, pale skinned, brunette who never overeats and wears cute, fashionable clothes. Lol.
