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

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! :lol:

 

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.

I call her "Alma" after the A.I. in The Advenures of the Galaxy Rangers or "Nav Lady."

 

Jill

 

Another "Bitchin' Betty" here.


EDIT: I was briefly tempted to call her "Mother", like in the movie "Alien".

"Warning: The Prius will automatically destruct in ten minutes. You have ten minutes to reach minimum safe distance..."

 

I just call mine "the nag".

 

Sure did give the NAV Lady a name. In my now traded 2004, she was "Ernestine" - In my 2007 Touring Edition, she is "Ernestine Two" - inspired by the sometimes strange, even weird, answers she gives in response to a verbal request. Such as, I say "Go Home" and Ernestine Two might say "Showing Post Office Icons" or {if it's my lucky day} "Setting Home as Destination."

The name Ernestine honors Lili Tomlin's telephone operator character on Saturday Night Live years back.

From the same show, that is what I call MY wife. Therefore, SHE who must be obeyed, calls the Prius voice, 'the-bitch' because how dare she try an compete with instructions from she who must be obeyed .

Oh no! That means if you let her pick the route, it's Sophie's Choice.

I call mine Amee after the robot AI in that crappy movie Red Planet who goes nuts and kills the crew members who depend on her. :lol:
Watch your back!
