Does your sleeve have a name...?

No.  I'll name my car, and I named my dog, but I won't name my sleeve.  Besides, if I gave it a first name, then I'd have to assign a middle name to use when I'm scolding it for recalcitrant behavior, as in "Ferdinand Aloyisius [Sleeve], you settle down and behave yourself this instant!!"  :)

I stole my name from another VSGer so I don't use it much.  But I think of my sleeve as Sleevie Wonder. Especially when he starts singing to me.

I don't normally name my body parts, but my sleeve does seem to sometimes have a mind of its own. The rest of the time, it's just my stomach.

I haven't. I've grinned over some... shaken my head over others... But...

If I never named my breasts... I am not naming my sleeve.

I just don't name body parts.

I do refer to it as my baby sleeve sometimes though because it is new, and like a fussy baby.

I haven't really given i a "name" but I will say "oops excuse me, my bear is growling" when my tummy makes those loud noises.

My husband refers to it as the hoho stomach, as it is the size of a Hostess HoHo.  For Example;  "will that hurt your HoHo Tummy?"  I think it is cute, but do not call it by name, as it is me.

I named mine. I didn't name it because I am not taking this serious or belittling the seriousness of the situation, but I am a joker. Someone above said they didn't name their boobs, well, if I had surgery on my boobs, I'm sure they would have nicknames too, but that's just me. I'm weird like that. My friends and family love me for it. The more upset/uncomfortable/anxious I get, the more I joke. I don't do well at funerals, haha! I am a serious person that doesn't like to take life too seriously. To get to the point, I named him Frank. That is short for Frankentummy. .

Oh and I have never named a car.

LOL! That was me... Mine are slated for a complete overhaul also (already in the works) and I still shan't name them.
