I finally named my Mindism. It's Flakker of the Zneer programming.
(Scatterhome): Cal says, "We're called
Scatterhome after what everybody does at
the end of the night when it's time for
someone to pay the bar tab."
(Scatterhome): You say, "Which by my
calculations, it's your turn to pay."
(Scatterhome): Brantar says, "That's what
my calculations have come to."
(Scatterhome): Paavo says, "My math adds
up to that, yeah."
(Scatterhome): Cal says, "Bastards."
I chose the Mavis style because I like having my AI treat me like a lady. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"They are elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty." — Oscar Wilde
"I'll take care of it, Luke said. And because he said it instead of her, I knew he meant kill. That is what you have to do before you kill, I thought. You have to create an it, where none was before." — Margaret Atwood
My 'official' mindsim is named Alpha, and then a bunch of my script/debug messages are in the form of multiple mindsims with different personalities (like Omicron who YELLS ALL THE TIME), so now I have self-inflicted virtual schizophrenia
I was playing The Sprawl with a friend, who has a big muscle character who carries around three blades, all named "Jane". Following his character's philosophy of "Always have a Jane on hand," I named my mindsim Jane.
I had been using Marvin/Zneer and named it whichever style it was set to but I switched to Meat because Slander is based on a character from another game named that.
After many iterations, I settled on Is0beL, after a decker character in Shadowrun. Seemed fitting to me, and I'm currently rewriting stock alerts and messages (while adding a few of my own, even some spoken commands) to better suit me.
I forgot I was going to call myself Ike while in chargen, so now I'm Zarrach.
