Default Named Voice for Nav?

Does anyone else have a name for their nav unit?

My wife is driving me nuts referring to "Monotone Mary." I just can't think of anything more creative...

2000 A8
- 19" wheels
- Backseat driver
- Extra Subwoofers to drown out backseat driver

Is there any way to change the voice? Is the voice contained on the DVD disc?

Default Betty Bob, which derived from...

Bob, as in Microsoft Bob (as she was named by our son). Bob quickly morphed into Billy Bob, but when we pointed out that it was a woman's voice, it morphed again into Betty Bob, and that has stuck. Sometimes she goes by Betty. Mostly, however, she's just silent Betty, as I got tired of her telling me that I missed that turn again!
