[Publib] Names for self-check service?

[Rawles-Heiser, Carolyn]

Our first one we called "Circules," which I really liked.   The second
one we named after a woman who left us money in her estate.  We used her
IRA (which was unrestricted) to buy the machine and found out later she
had specified in her will that her bequest was not to be spent on any
sort of technology.   That darn second machine never worked right, and
really was a lemon.    We started to think maybe she had cursed the
machine from the grave.   From now on, we are only calling the machines
"self-check."

Is it a bad thing if we all use the same label for a service?
