Do you name your fabrics?

I am working on a Log Cabin that takes probably 35-40 different batik fabrics. I named them. Like Mr Ugly, Ms Sparkles, Bubbles, Ditzie Dottie, Passionate Purple, Olive Oyl.
My GF came over to quilt on Saturday and thought I was nuts when I was talking to myself."Mr. Ugly is up next" or "Come on Ditzie Dottie, lay straight for me"
I have always named my fabrics in a project. It's the only way I can keep them in order when I am doing a piano border or bargello etc. She made me feel like it was the weirdest thing.
Fess up. Am I an idiot or do you guys do this too?

I did it with four of the Slipknot shirts in my t-shirt quilt: "Maggot", "Paul Grey", "#2", and "Iowa". The only other person it made sense to without having to explain it was my brother, who likes Slipknot and will be getting the quilt when I get around to finishing it (wasn't originally intended for him).

Ok, well I guess it is just me. I suppose you all dont make up little songs so that you keep track of piecing order either. "Some dark to the left, a light on the right and mama will be happy all night"
No wonder she looked at me like I was nuts.
