It's a variation on "Tis better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all" - it's not a choice between loving and not loving, but between loving and not admitting to loving, and if you pick the second you get all the pain of losing without any of the joy of having.
I suspect most people don't develop that sort of relationship to their cell phones, but hey, I gotta grow where I'm planted.
The naming may take some time, because it must be exactly right (and also because the cell phone, while animate, is not gendered, which cuts down the list). But I have high hopes.
