Anyone else name their Nav voice?

We named our Nav voice Bertha, for Bertha Benz. The voice on my Escalade was Bridget ... She sounded English. Anyway ... It makes it easier to talk to her when she is trying to take you a direction other than what you know is right. Or you stop for gas and Bertha wants me to pull a u-turn ... Shut up, Bertha ... I know what I'm doing!

My wife finds the voice so obnoxious she named her "Lilith", of Cheers and Frasier fame.
