Yesterday Kerri was showing off where she hid her pump inside her wedding dress on her wedding day. I left a comment that finding her pump was like playing "Where's Waldo?" Long story short, her pump is now named Waldo and Michelle posted a hilarious picture of Kerri's newly named pump. I suppose that sort of makes me Waldo's Godfather. If Kerri were Jewish, I guess I would have to hold it during its Bris.
That brings me to this. How many of you name your pumps? Emma likes to call her pump "pumpie." No points for originality there, but what can you do, she's only 3. I seem to recall there being a thread at CWD about naming pumps. I have made the offhand comment that I named my pump "Angelina." I don't know that my wife would appreciate that too much, so it can't really be named that. I suppose I could name it after a pet, or a celebrity, or a sports hero. My pets' names are Eclair and Genevieve, and I don't want to offend one or the other. I really don't know. It's kind of a big decision to name your pump. It's sort of like your pet rock or that awesome pen you stole from the UPS store 6 months ago, except that losing the pen won't kill you or cost you $6,000.
Therefore I am throwing open the doors to anyone that wants to name my pump. The best suggestion wins a pen from the UPS store.

I have named my pump, "Master P."
Man, I dunno what to suggest.
What color is your pump? Do you want a funny name?
Purceville the pump. (Ha, I don't even know how to spell it.)
I named mine based on the color, green. So it's Orin, which is little green one in Gaelic. Just an idea...
My former pump was Code Blue(always getting into an emergency of one type or the other, it was very accident prone)
How about Elvis?
(you could tell people Elvis has left the building..is checking out)
Well, how about Atlas? Wasn't he the god that held up the world? I don't know if he is Greek or Roman, but anyway, your pump holds your "world" in its hands, so to speak.
Holly McCormick
Mine is just "my leash". I don't think I need to explain that one. (Omnipod users, that is your cue to step in...)
I toyed with the idea of naming it snorker, but I didn't think that would be very thrilling considering that I name EVERYTHING snorker. :)
Now for your pump...howabout FREDDY?
First time to your blog for me through SUM's site, but I just checked your profile and read your movie favorites and thought all those would be great names for your pump.
Private Ryan (just cause it is private most times.)
Braveheart (well that pump is brave as are all diabetics)
Dumb and Dumber (hmmm the disease is dumb not the pump)
Ahhhh The Incredible (not bad either)
Thinking I am liking Ryan. :)
Ian's pump is "Senor Pumperamo" I'm not sure when it became Hispanic, but so it is. Maybe you should go for something ethnic to spice things up??
Everything sounds better in a foreign language.
Wow, the Friday 6 ... impressive!
Let's see, I think you need to give it a NASCAR name. You know you supposedly can come up with your own NASCAR name by taking your mom's father's middlename and your dad's father's middle name and putting them together (mine is Henry Fentress, beat that).
Although I think Master P rocks, and it is less complicated.
Whoa, I just realized that my NASCAR name would be Patrick Ann. Very ... masculine of me.
How about "Machiavelli"? You could call him Mack for short. The end justifying the means and all that jazz.
So far I kind of like "Atlas," but nothing's really jumping out at me. Maybe that's just my indecisiveness.
I'm simple, how about Fred. hahaha
