Have You Given Your Navigator-Lady-Voice a Name?

Mister Swigart · 03-18-2007, 02:25 AM

My Daughter said she should be called "Rhonda" with a sexy voice like that. I agreed as it reminded me of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson lyrics, "Help Me Rhonda, help, help me Rhonda." The first time I had to use her was to locate a hospital my daughter was admitted to later in that first week. I did not know its location. Rhonda helped me drive right to it. (My daughter is alright, now.)

I sometimes refer to her as She Who Must Be Obeyed, referring to what Rumpole of the Bailey called his wife. Usually I just call her The Nav Lady. When I'm trying to use voice recognition, like saying "screen off" to which she responds "Showing Ski Resort icons", I call her STUPID!

I know her name is Jill, but I call her Holly, for reasons that any fan of Red Dwarf should know...

I call mine "Rita". My cousin calls hers "Shirley" - named after my mother who was a world class back seat driver.

Charlies Angles.
I've heard at least three different ladies so far, British for the instructions, and Dutch and German for the names of places in the Netherlands and Germany.

Jill. That is the name of it's text-to-speech engine, isn't it?

I just want to add that my friends think I'm nuts. But when I explain that that is it's name, they go along with it.

This subject was covered pretty well in this thread:

Many of us call her "Jill" because that is the name of the voice data file on the NAV DVD.
