Pet names for projects

I really like giving any personal project I'm working on a title. No matter how large or small the project, I feel compelled to.

It doesn't have to be a permanent name, but it does need to say something about the project. Often times that thing gets dropped or evolved out of recognition, but I just gotta have a name. There's something important about names, even if I can't quite articulate what.

Occasionally this'll carry over to work as well. I just get so turned off when faced with "Mesh Converter 2.5g.01" as an app, that when I'm working on a really problem specific small tool I'll revert to character with some naming silliness.

Does anyone else feel the same way?
