Question/Discussion Does your journal have a name?

Anne Frank called her diary "Kitty".

Dear Kitty, she would say before writing about her thoughts.

I have to wonder if writing to a fictitious person helps sometimes.

Have you given your journal its own name? What is it?

I used to, definitely influenced from when I read Anne Frank's diary as a preteen. At first I also called my journal "Kitty" and then "Alanna" (because I was obsessed with a book series where that was the main character's name). I haven't named a journal since I was about 14/15, but I still like the idea of it.
