WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Of all the non-human roles I adopt there is only one that carries an actual given name. Obviously roles such as furniture or statue would not need such personalisation, but doll is just 'dollie' and pet is just 'pet'. The only role in which I have been given a name is that of ponygirl.

Not entirely sure why that is. Perhaps a pony is more deserving of a name due to equine pride and elegance. My owner thought hard about what to name his pony and the result is fitting.

I certainly don't crave given names for my other roles, and don't feel that I am missing out in any way. In fact, now that I have given it some thought, I actually do like the non-naming - makes it just that little bit more unpersonal and objectified.
