To All,

By the way, if you'd like to participate in this discussion on Twitter, compose 
a tweet that includes the hash tag NameMyAI.

For example one might tweet, (without the quotation marks), "I would #NameMyAI 
Bubba."
Include the @AppleSupport handle in your tweet and, who knows, perhaps Apple 
will take your suggestion.

Mark

Hello Everyone,

As some of you know, there are plans in the works to allow some popular
digital assistants to respond to custom named prompts.

While, as far as I know anyway, Apple as not yet disclosed plans to allow
for this, it is my hope that someday, they will.

So, I was just thinking about what name I would like to use for Siri, were I
given the option.  Hence, the subject of this thread.

Of course, being a lifelong Star Trek fan, my first inclination would be to
set my trigger word to "Computer"; as in, "Computer, cancel my appointment
with Oprah for tomorrow."   (smile)

However, as I began to think about it, I decided that perhaps, just perhaps,
the word "Computer", may not be the best choice, in the long run.

So, I came up with three names that I would like to use for my AI or
personal digital assistant with one runner-up.  They are:

1.
Christine.

2.
Maggie,.

3.
Cecil.

Runner-up:  Bobby.

(Big Smile)

Okay, it's your turn, please reply with your 3 top choices for your AI, were
you given the option.

I look forward to reading all your replies,

Mark

My ideas as they occurred to me are:
1. Hal: from the movie 2001 A space Odyssey but then saying Hey Hal did not 
sound right.
2. Dave: because I have a friend named Dave and it might be fun to tell him 
what to do.

3. Jude: so Hey Jude would sound pretty good.

Hello Everyone,

As some of you know, there are plans in the works to allow some popular
digital assistants to respond to custom named prompts.

While, as far as I know anyway, Apple as not yet disclosed plans to allow
for this, it is my hope that someday, they will.

So, I was just thinking about what name I would like to use for Siri, were I
given the option.  Hence, the subject of this thread.

Of course, being a lifelong Star Trek fan, my first inclination would be to
set my trigger word to "Computer"; as in, "Computer, cancel my appointment
with Oprah for tomorrow."   (smile)

However, as I began to think about it, I decided that perhaps, just perhaps,
the word "Computer", may not be the best choice, in the long run.

So, I came up with three names that I would like to use for my AI or
personal digital assistant with one runner-up.  They are:

1.
Christine.

2.
Maggie,.

3.
Cecil.

Runner-up:  Bobby.

(Big Smile)

Okay, it's your turn, please reply with your 3 top choices for your AI, were
you given the option.

I look forward to reading all your replies,

Mark

Hi. I know I shared this on the Mac Visionaries list, but for the people not on 
there, I can only think of one. There's a sportscaster on a channel here in 
Canada called Roger's Sportsnet who I have a deep crush on. Her name is Sophia 
so I'd name my AI after her.

I use the British male Siri voice, so my top choice is Jeeves.

Number one choice would be: Commander data. Two and three are a bit derogatory 
so, number two would be D – head. Number three would be D Bag!
