Miaow, why not?
But a name can be a snare and a delusion: we had another
quasi-classical name, atticus, so called because it was located in the
attic. Then we moved house and it was relocated under the stairs...
And I had my office in the potting-shed for a time, so my very
odd-looking skeletal tower box, with bits bolted on in all directions,
was named potty. But it soon moved indoors and got a new case so that
name was out of date too. And how much refitting is needed to justify a
rename? new processer, new case, new motherboard, new hard drives, but
all at different times, so at which point should it be renamed?
