I call her Patty and just hate when my husband disagrees with her!

Borrowed the name "Bitch'n Betty". My wife often disagrees with and overrules Betty.

We named ours Betty after Mr. JoC's classmate who talks a lot but knows what she's talking about. On the other hand, we had to fire our Aussie gal last year when we were visiting the Gulf and she kept telling us to turn onto Gulf Doctor instead of Gulf Drive. It took us a while to figure out what she was talking about. Funny though.

nONIE,
I've noticed this thread whenever I've cruised by TOTV today. Gotta admit, had NO desire to open it and read the rapidly increasing number of posts. I thought this was going to be the epitome of lame, like that poor little dog at the Crafts show dressed in some kid of top and sunglasses. SUNGLASSES!!! You just know that little fella would have gladly jumped into the mouth of the nearest gator just to stop the embarrassment. But I digress.

This evening I read thru this thread. Comments about my social life aside, I was very pleasantly surprised at the wellspring of different comments you solicited. I enjoyed it thoroughly, so much in fact that I may have to get a GPS just so I can name her/him/it.

Kylie is the Australian babe who routinely and continuously
tells me where to go.

So, between Kylie and Mrs. Tony I am sure to never get lost.

An aside, though, about Mrs. Tony. I am assured of never
having to spend a lot of time in jail if I am ever convicted of
something. She has never let me finish a sentence.

Don't tell her I said this.

We have had two...

The first was a Tom Tom and they are a British company, so she would say things like "Take the Motorway" which sounded silly with an American accent. So we picked a British woman's voice and named her Jane after the perfect Jane Fairfax (in Jane Austen's Emma).

The 2nd one doesn't allow you to choose the voice (we think because it also reads off the actual streets). The simulated voice sounds faintly Scandinavian (yet bossy), so Jim named her Olga. Picture a very strong massage therapist....

Homer.

Now I will have to get rid of my Garmin and get a TomTom to get the voice to Homer Simpson. Garmin missed the boat on that one.

Silva..... She is wonderful. She has stopped us from stopping at 5 Gas Stations and stopping 3 strangers on the street (or stop lights) for directions per trip...

Mrs. Campbell Soup and I just love her.
