What's in a Name?

About a year ago I bought my wife and I a Roomba, the little robot vacuum cleaner. That's not exactly what this post is about, but if anybody is interested and considering purchasing one, I posted about it back then here on this forum. We loved it then, and love it now, a year later - still doing a perfect job for us. Other than emptying the dust bin and cleaning the filter, the only other thing I do is just take it out to the garage and use my air compressor to blow the dust out of all the nooks and crannies on it every 2 or 3 months.
Anyway, a little while back I was talking to my sister on the phone and she told me that she and her husband had just purchased one, also. As part of their marketing, when you buy one, the Roomba company wants you to give your little guy a name (like a pet, I guess), and list it by its name when you register it on their website. Ok, it's marketing - I get it - whatever.
So I asked my sister if she named her new Roomba. I could hear the exasperation in her voice when she replied: "No, I didn't. But Frank (her husband) had." I said: "Oh really? What did Frank name it?" She said: "Hillary."
Man, I love my brother-in-law.
