I named mine Wally because I irrigate, and when I was a kid, there was a cartoon called Wally Gator.

I like alliteration, and I am an Adam Sandler fan, so mine is named Stoma Steve.

I call mine Napoleon Stomafart and when it needs emptying, then it is called the privy purse (in the UK, a privy is the toilet).

I call mine "Little Buddy" for now. Sometimes I can't print the names I call it. I'm sure I will come up with something more original as time goes on.

I call mine "Chucky" like the movie Chuckie. It just keeps chucking LOL LOL. I am a new ostomate and had picked the name out beforehand. Kind of like the birth of a new baby. Good luck everyone!

Mine is Rosie, since she is part of me for life I felt she deserved a name and not just my stoma.

Just a suggestion... You name your bag after people in your life who are "full of crap"...

Come on, Wab. You know if we did that, our stores would have more names than a royal. Let's just keep it simple, one to a stoma.

I call it "My Shit Hole", only when I am with my husband. We haven't come up with a name while in public. I have had my colostomy for about six years now. Had a liver transplant 8 years ago, then developed anal, tongue, and right lung cancers due to the "rejection meds" I have to take the rest of my life for the transplant. My husband has been so supportive through all this, even helps with the "bag changes"! We celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary last month (Dec. 7th)!!! I am so blessed to have a wonderful soul mate!!!!
