Could you imagine a world of "Hey you!"? To be honest I wouldn't want to. Now your tools are just like people, your Athame is different from mine, even as my Book of Shadows is very different from yours. It needs a name.
Take some time. You could just call it "Lady Fluffy-Butts Book" nothing against that, its what many, many Pagans do. However, it is my opinion that, that sort of name subjugates. Your Tools are your partners, your allies; they are not your servants or slaves.
Take a few moments, roughly three minutes and quickly write down everything that you want your BoS to be. You should be able to sort it out into a few sentences. Once you have done that slowly pair it down to a single word or three. You can then use that word or Phrase to name your BoS, the name will work like a Power word or Invocation by itself. The more simple it is the better.
You know that this is your Book of Shadows, so adding that to the name is superfluous.
