I'm sure I posted a reply some time ago, but since I can't find it, I'll post again.

I call mine 'Timmy'. Not like the Southpark 'Timmmaaaaa', but little Timmy Thermomix.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

I chose the German name "Ida" which means "hardworking"!!!  Ida is 7 days old tomorrow and she has already earned her name!

I'm naming mine "Tuffy"  after a MG TC I owned for just short of fifty years and sold last April because it has been a few years since I had been able to drive it (bad knee, stiff clutch) it was still in beautiful condition (fully restored in 2001).

While processing certain things on Turbo, my Tuffy makes the same sound as the MG did when downshifting on a steep downgrade!

It really does need a name doesn't it? Funny.  :-))

And here I was thinking we were weird for giving it a name!

Originally we wanted to go with something German, but it turns out all we know is the nickname my favourite aunty called me as a child (and kitten didn't seem appropriate for a Thermomix) and swear words/phrases taught to us by a few exchange students and back-packers.

So somehow the name 'Stella' came to mind and was quickly agreed upon by family. She may be the new kitchen b*tch but in less than 24hrs has already shown herself to be a Star :D

Still deciding on what to call mine!  Somehow I can't go past the "bimby", so I think  I will Christen it with the name "Mr Bimby". Sounds like something out of a kids tv show!

I seem to have settled on "Thor" - seems appropriate given he's the 'god of thunder'.

Our Thermomix arrived on Christmas Day. :)

We've called it "Jesus".  :D

How appropriate.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Forgive my husband's and my quirky sense of humour. :) We're not religious, but we don't want to offend anyone either.

It sure is our saviour in many ways - time and money and sanity. ;)

We laugh about how "we love jesus" as we're cleaning the TMX.. and it'll be turning water into rice-milk. :D (Which is more appropriate since we don't drink wine. lol)

I just love the names people have given their machines. I call mine TM but think of it as "Horse"... my little work horse... and it hasn't stopped working since that wonderful day it arrived. I think I haven't had the courage to call it Horse out-loud... so don't tell anyone :-X
