Printer Christening

In our art department there were 2 Canon network printers. These had been named George and Bernard by request of the artists. If there was a sane reason for this I can't remember it.

Today these printers were replaced by 2 new Canon's. The Canon engineer asked what he should call them. A piece of paper started making its way around the room. This turned out to be a referendum on printer names.

The candidates were:

Mitzi & Morag
Kim & Aggie
Sindy & Barbie
Charles & Camilla
Kermit & Miss Piggy
Scott & Charlene
Keith & Orville
Ken & Deirdrie
Max & Paddy
Britney & Beyonce
Cagney & Lacey
Sandy & Donny

Max & Paddy came out the clear winner with 4 votes (The names are from a UK sitcom).

Anybody else out there give 'wacky' names to computers and peripherals?
Does it make it easier to cope with when they break down?
