Wow, I'm feeling really lame. My Kindle showed up at my door with a name already and it never occured to me to change it. In fact, I didn't even know you could....

I've never named an inanimate object in my life with the exception of baby dolls as a child. I guess I need to get in touch with my creative side ...

I've named dogs "dog", cats "cat", fish "fish", etc. Even my 4 kids have hand-me-down names except the youngest which I found in a book.

Now I am determined to name my Kindle although I have no idea what.

EDIT: I did it! I found a name and my Kindle is now known as Perilla. I used Google translator to find words for "knowledgeable" in other languages. I found the Finnish word "perilla" to be quite feminine and beautiful.
