Ours is named Taschenrechner (Pocket Calculator), more or less after the Kraftwerk song (Ich bin der Musikant mit Taschenrechner an der Hand). When I press a special key it plays a little melody. We’re a little old school here. ---

oooh I feel so HIP having an answer to this question! My iPod mini is called “swimswim” because I bought it to swim with. (yes. [swim with](http://www.h2oaudio.com)) Did you guys get the option of “free engraving” on your iPods? not sure if that is new or just for minis or what. Mine says “keep going.” (more for the swimming) ---
