Took me a bit to name mine Stan! It's definetely a male. Prima donna, moody, pain in the backside...must be a male. Never mind it looks like a circumsised..ya know.

I figure Stan should vote personally. He talks enough! Anyway...get to know it's personality a bit. Then a name will come to you!

Mine, well, he has to have a certain temp of water. When he gets excercised he gets bigger. When he has cold water he gets shrinkage. Really. When I'm sick he gets pale. Really. He likes showers...gets all happy and bigger. I swear to Gawd he has a proper personality. He is Stan...hear him speak! I do slap him if he gets out of hand.

Only time will tell what your stoma personality will be! Then a name will come to you. But it may be something you cant type here..erm.

Was thinking LouiseAmes...which evolved into Lola. (Okay, "Losa" would be closer, but who doesn't want something named Lola, and anyway, "Losa" sounds like "loser" and that quality you and your stoma are not!)

Mine is Mr President... annoying, full of crap, and thankfully temporary. My back end is Mr Vice President... useless, meaningless, and hopefully in a couple of weeks, will rise to power.

Amy- can I please take a pick of the names that you don't use? Right now, it's just 'it' and 'that', and is slowly getting a complex!!
Today though, it's being a right b*****d and I hate it!!

Amy - EZ Pass! That is awesome!

I really like Bilbo, but I am not ready to settle on a permanent moniker yet.... the little bugger is only 2 weeks old! Awwww, ain't he cute? :)

Yay, pick mine, pick mine :biggrin: 'Bagpuss' also occurred to me the other day.
Sounds like you and he/she are getting along pretty well, Amy. Can't believe it's been two weeks already. Wishing you continued good health with your new 'offspring'. :kiss:

Not sure what you would name your stoma, but I was thinking since you had surgery so close together, you and Andrea are practically ostomates.

I'm sorry, that was terrible. :yfaint:

Also I had never heard of Bagpuss (in the U.S.) and I think that is a shame.

Yes, Andrea and I are ostomates for sure!!! I couldn't ask for a better ostomate!

Thanks for the vid about bagpuss. Cute!

Bagpuss landed with me in Toronto just after the New Year.
Created quite a bit of excitement for a little Canadian girl and her family.

Oh, Mark, you are BAD!!!!!

I think I am going to go with Bilbo. I love the way it sounds and it cracks me up to have its last name be "Baggins."

So thank you Grumbletum for the winning name!!!

- Ames (and Bilbo)

Hahahaha! That's great!

Oliver Stone is an alum of the prep school my husband attended. Next time I see him at a reunion, I am going to bust out laughing, picturing a life size stoma!!

Kazza

Called mine Dennis (as in Dennis the Menace) coz he can't decide if he wants to be a colostomy or an ileostomy, so constantly changes alliegence

I assumed Kazza has had multiple stoma surgeries, some of which resulted in a colostomy, and some in an ileostomy? I've never had a colostomy, but I've had three separate surgeries that resulted in a new ileostomy stoma. I view each as a separate stoma, but I can see why it might feel like just the one, but one that's changing. I suppose they are all from the same intestine. Or have I interpreted your post completely incorrectly, Kazza?

As for names, I tried naming my first stoma (or my stoma's first incarnation?!) but it just felt weird to me. It's not a separate being, it's just part of my digestive system.
