Hey BMW... or not?

Who has changed the name of their BMW personal assistant?
What did you change it to?
Or what suggestions do you have?

My current Satnav is Daphne. My wife hates her :-)
So I considered Hey Darling...

Been thinking songs...
Hey there Delilah
Hey Joe
Hey you (the rock steady crew)
Hey there lonely girl
Hey now (don't dream it's over)
Hey Jude
Hey ya
Hey girl (dont bother me)
Hey brother

or adverts
Hey good looking - what you got cooking

or inanimates
Hey Kitt
Hey Chip
Hey HAL

Do you need the 'Hey' part or can you just say "Chip" or "Hal"?

I'm considering "Marvin"

As a non native speaker I just do not use her.
Google assistance always understands me, MS Cortana understands me (Mostly), BMW only gets 5% right. It is much faster to just navigate in menus and click!

I just use Siri.
Nav destination and phone directory are the only things I use it for.
