I call mine Stewie, too!

I named mine "Herbert" because that is the name of the annoying perverted old man on Family Guy and so it seemed fitting for an annoying thing like a bag lol. But when I get mad at him he gets called "Herbs" lol...my whole family knows his name and thinks its the funniest thing and will ask me how Herbs is just like they are talking about a normal human lol

My stoma's name is Little Red... and the bag itself is the Riding Hood. I think it's pretty clever! My friend and I made it up one day on the bus home from school and it just stuck.

Pinky because my nurses are always commenting on how beautifully pink it is!

My end ileo was named "Oscar" because he could be a grouch (think Sesame Street). As soon as I was coherent from surgery I asked my husband what my new loop ileo's name was. He took one look and said "Gonzo" because he looks like he has a long crooked nose.

My husband doesn't call his by name, but I've often referred to it as "Rudolph" and it's sort of sticking. His surgery was in the fall & the stoma started off violent purple as they all do, but then turned gray (scared the heck out of us, but it was a dead layer of skin that later sloughed off). It finally moved on to that shiny, red perfection. By the time we were in the Christmas season, it had problems and changed again.. shriveled, dry & pink. We missed the shiny, redness & I kept saying we needed to get it back to "being Rudolph again". Holiday's over, but whenever there's any stoma issue, we always check to see if it's "still like Rudolph" or not.. that's our way of sizing it up & it's sort of a nickname, right??

I named mine "Skoobs." Contrary to what it appears, it's not named after Scooby-Doo, but rather from the Greek "skubalon." If you want to know what that means just Google it and you'll see why it is quite appropriate

Skoobs and I get along well...

'George'...first off only a guy could give me this much trouble ..but I named him while still in the hospital after the husband of the first female olymic athelete with an ostomy..Babe Dirkson (1920's?) (I think that was her name..saw her biography while in the hospital and it finally got the tears flowing)And gave me hope...
Code? Oh, yea...every one who knows me asks about George...how he is doing..is he acting up? Do I need to go visit him? Stangers think I have a kid ...While dating my now hubby he finally couldn't take it any more and asked my best friend if I was psyco or did I have multiple personalities

When I had my first one at age 11, my parents and I called it "S.B.", for Sh*t bag, or a sure bitch. It liked it because it was the first time my parents allowed me to curse.

Ahh That's Classic! Great Name

I cannot say what I called mine but here's a clue
It started with a B and ended in an X
Not as sophisticated as yours I know

Mine is named Kuato. You'll understand if you've seen Total Recall.

Im looking forward to 'birthing' my new stoma next week - Ill guess ill have to check him /her out before I name them. Last time I had my temp. the lady in bed across from me kept saying 'stop blowing your own trumpet!' - so maybe ill call it trumpet if it is as talkative as the last one!

Saff - you could name your stoma after the most very famous trumpet player ever - Miles (Davis). Or how about Dizzy (Gillespie)? Louis (Armstrong)? Or Wynton (Marsalis)?

I named mine Furpie, because one day at lunch my co-workers and I were laughing at how loud it was making sounds. It wasn't exactly a fart, and it wasn't a burp, so we decided it "furped." When I had my temp loop ileostomy, it was then dubbed Furpie Jr.

I call mine Stella....dunno how I got there but thats what its called.
