Stoma Naming - Share Your Stories and Reasons!

I used to think I was in the minority but...looking online I see I am not. So...has anyone named their stoma? If so...what did you name it and the reason why. Mine is Stella

I have a urostomy, so I named mine Mr. Peabody.

Why Stella?

Haha, that is great!

Because when she acts up, I am like, "STELLAAAAAAAAA." You know from that old movie or commercial... cannot remember which.

My Ostomy Journey: Keyla | Hollister

Streetcar Named Desire?

Awww....you stole my thunder, that was going to be my line!!

Mr. Magoo....screaming..Stellllaaaaa....while he's looking at a horse's butt, lovely blond hair (tail) swaying side to side....where did I put my goggles!!

I got my inspiration from Camelot and I named my stoma "Sir Poops a Lot"

I named mine Willy because the inner child wanted to make light out of a crappy situation lol.

I named mine Sally. Not really sure why. It's an old name I like. :)

Yes! Exactly it! Hahaha

Very good one!

That's cute. What about Lily the illey

Sally is a good one.

Hi guys,

My stoma's name is Ruby - due to the color.

That's a good one!

I gave the name 'Ruby' to my now 10-year-old cat.... :o))

I heard from some... "Trump" because it's full of, Barack Obama, and Winnie... as in "Winnie the Pooh"

I named mine Stuie after Stuart Little because he is little but is strong-willed and has a mind of his own.

My stoma's name is Igor, as my ever-present deformed assistant. For those who know me well, when I say Igor calls, they know that I need to find a restroom soon to empty my bag. A polite way for those of you who have a spouse or friends in the know to support you.

A friend of mine named her stoma STUIE because what comes out of it is stool.

Mine is called Stig. Not named after Top Gear driver, but a certain book. Go ahead and Google it.

Named mine Pumpkin!

It's the color of the inside of a pumpkin.

I told a sales rep. It looked like the monster from the Tremors movie. Giant wormy bugger. Hehe

More like a Streetcar Named Disaster LOL...

Mine's called Winnie (as in Winnie the Pooh)

I thought I was being very clever - but I've since found a few other Winnies around!

You know, I am sad I never thought of that first. Winnie is a great one.

Mine is Rosie or Rosebud because that is what she looks like.

I found some "Fat Quarters" (squares of cotton fabric) in Aldi last year that were Winnie the Pooh related. "Life is nothing without Pooh" (or something like that) was on one which I got made up into a stoma cover by a tailor friend. We used a pattern off the internet but the results were poor - it seemed to fit OK and looked cute but wouldn't stay on. I suspect it would need to have elasticated tape on it or something. I see lots of interesting covers on Etsy but they are pricey and the postage costs as much! I'll try again sometime, with more fabric from this bundle, or one with a Grim Reaper and get somebody to embroider "Not Today...." on it!

That is great

My stoma is called St.Ouma - the patron saint of bladderless bodies.

In South Africa, Ouma is the Afrikaans word for granny and also a brand of rusks which I enjoy.

Funny how I used to hate this thing protruding and dribbling from my stomach until the nurse said I must name it and take ownership of it.... Now we have a great relationship along with all the other items which come with a stoma...
