Anyone name the female voice on the NAV system?

Rachael, and frighteningly, I have almost as many conversations with/about her as I do about my cat. My boyfriend and I consider Rachael and Roomba our "kids". (though technically Rachael is ALL MINE, baby!)

 

Well, she started out as *itching Betty, but that didn't stick. Now she is Babbling Babs.

 

Sheila. Because Sheila doesn't recognize any voice commands - you tell her to change CDs and she turns on FM radio, etc.

Named after the tank in Red vs. Blue that doesn't listen to her driver, goes haywire and starts automatically shooting everything in sight.

 

Fellow PriusChat member Walt has done some browsing of the NAV DVD, and discovered that the voice files have the name "VFJill" (probably for Voice, Female, Jill.) Check out his thread here:

I guess this puts to rest what we should all be calling our Prii.

Peter.

 

Kitty!

I call her Foxy Lady since her Lic. plate is RU EXP 2 Are You Experienced
I'm a big Jimi Hendrix fan "not necessarily stoned but beautiful" Peace MJ

 

I call her Amelia, after Amelia Earhart. Both of them tend to get a little lost at times.

 

Ummm... SAGE

Yes experienced and beautiful and well sometimes not lost, but searching! Peace Man!

 

"Nagivator"

Sort of a cross between Navigator, Nag, and Aggrovator.

Or just "The Nav Lady."

 

Driving a Prius for six weeks now, we had this discussion last weekend. My wife came with the final name. She started at "Christoffel" the patriot saint of travellers and converted this into "Christa", the female counterpart. It is also a normal, common name in the south parts of Holland, preferable pronounced with a not too hard pronounced "Ch".

So our nav. lady is now called Christa !

Regards,
Wim.

Monica

 

I like to call her Rhonda from time to time. As in the Beach Boys song, "Help Me, Rhonda!".

 

Mine is named Jane, for the sentient super-computer in the Ender series of novels by Orson Scott Card.

"Carla" seemed the obvious choice for ours!

Veera :lol:

 

How about calling her She Who Must Be Obeyed... though you don't have to, of course, and she'll just reroute and start telling you how to drive again.

 

The salesperson at Toyota referred to her as "Susie Synthetic"

We decided that the voice sounds like the narrator on Desparate Housewives, so we named her Mary Alice.

 

My wife named the Nav Lady in her Sienna "Sally" and the one in my Prius is "Polly". (We're an alliterative bunch around here... )
