[ Tech Boy's mood is typically so erratic, it's really a miracle that K gets him at all. This is god-level irrationality and humor, not simply figuring out how humans behave. The hair thing would have been played as a bigger deal if there weren't more pressing matters to attend to. And it's absolutely something that's going to come back to haunt K later. ]

I'm not sure yet. I'd have to think about it. There's a lot of choices and what to call someone is a big decision. Nothing too plain because that's boring but nothing too trendy so it doesn't sound dated over time. [ He pulls his hand back, bringing it to his mouth to think. ] Naming an operating system is easy. Pick an animal. Pick a snack food. Pick a landmark. It doesn't have to mean much. But names for people are harder. There's a lot to consider.

[ He's trying to think of a reason why a New God shouldn't have a name that doesn't sound like an argument K might turn back on him. Because it isn't done. Because practicality and function outweigh familiarity. Because it isn't necessary for someone who isn't addressed unless needed to preform his function.

In conclusion, he simply shrugs in answer to that second question. ]
I've spent more than a century without one. Never seemed necessary.
