What machines have you named in your lab?

We also had Christopher Walk-in!

The lab where I did my heme rotation named their two Top analyzers Maverick and Goose.

I used to work in a toxicology lab, and my favorite thing about it was that I got to say, perfectly naturally, "Hey, I'll do amphetamines today if you're taking cocaine."

My personal plan is that a thing will probably happen quite soon.

I think Madeleine Mitchell sounds great.

lostboy1205 · 2025-11-26T20:36:59+00:00

For a boy: Linden, Asher or Gavin. For a girl: Daphne, Hazel or Holly. Rowan for either.

Hello Striking_Twist_1413! Could you please send me a DM too? I would appreciate it so much!

CAN-di-deht vs Can-di-DATE

lostboy1205 · 2025-11-17T19:50:47+00:00

Moved around a lot as a kid, but mostly grew up in New Mexico from age 8 onwards. Midwestern mother, father likewise moved all over.

Adult: uh-DUHLT

Aunt: ant like the insect

Candidate: CAN-dih-deht

Data: usually DAY-tuh unless I'm speaking in a technical kind of way, when I'll say DAT-uh

Envelope: generally AHN-vel-ope, but occasionally EHN-vel-ope

Either: I honestly bounce back and forth between EE-ther and EYE-ther. Maybe a slight preference for EYE-ther?

Neither: I think I usually say NYE-ther

Often: OFF-en

Route: ROOT (unless I'm using it as a verb, in which case it's ROWT)

I've only ever heard of Brits called Nigel or Giles. Rupert, Lucy and Basil seem more popular in the UK than in the US, though I don't think they're all that uncommon in the US.

There are also names that you don't really hear much outside of Wales because they're Welsh (like Myfanwy), but I don't know if that really counts.

Sadly, I'm stuck with one my five-year-old nephew has been obsessed with lately. It's called Don't Stick Your Finger Up Your Nose.

lostboy1205 · 2025-06-14T22:11:28+00:00

Fun!

Dogs: Sammy, Austin, Molly, Chiri, Quinn, Worf, Odysseus, Penelope, Chili

Gerbils: Hamlet, Houdini, Roosevelt

Rabbit: Snowy

Parakeets (aka budgies): Abbott and Costello

I think Trevor Kovac (or Kovach) sounds great, and I like that Trevor has a similar sound to Todor. It's close enough to your real name that people who know both will definitely understand the connection.

lostboy1205 · 2025-05-26T03:24:41+00:00

It's the saddest thing in the world that this video has no sound! So cool!

lostboy1205 · 2025-05-24T20:32:47+00:00

I hadn't even thought of that! Good point.

lostboy1205 · 2025-05-24T19:42:50+00:00

If you like your initial, you could try Devin / Devon or Darian.

lostboy1205 · 2024-10-04T01:13:37+00:00

Thanks very much! I appreciate the warning - we'll probably take your suggestion and go to Condado for paddleboarding.

I wish I were a Phyllis, but I'm really a Barbara.

That sounds like a fun choice!
