Default Your Detector's Name

HI Hunters,
Been thinking about this for a while. I have read where people have named their Detector. So thought i would do a poll and ask what is your Detector/Detectors name? If more than one Detector. And maybe why or how you came up with that name.

I do not have my own Detector yet, but will next month hopefully. I thought about doing a post for some options, but have a name picked out already. One of my favorite bands is a young band, just started a couple years ago. The three boys in this band are now 12 years old. I wanted to learn a musical instrument, was going to learn guitar, but after watching this band on a dvd, i really liked how the drummer played. And he is actually communicating with me through e-mail. He is my inspiration to learn drums, so with that, learning to play drums, and learning to metal Detect, my Detector will be named Grant.

What's your name?

OK, i posted this about 21 hours ago, a lot of people have viewed it, but no reply yet. I am very surprised. Surprised because i have read many, many posts saying they call their detecor a name. I guess i made a wrong post here. I guess everyones Detector is just a Detector. My eyes deceived me when i read a name for them. Oh well. I am sorry for this post. I myself thought this would have a lot of replies. Sorry. I will think of something better next time.

I only call my detector something when I DON'T find something good.
Of course I won't write it here.

I don't have a name for mine yet. I have a Garrett Ace 250, which I've seen someone refer to as "Yeller Feller", because of the 250's color. I was thinking about naming mine Singer or Chirpy. Leaning towards Chirpy. Cool post!
