DID What do you call your inner system?

All of mine had names. I say had because I integrated them in 2005/6. I had a system of three tiers. One was called Control Central and appropriately named because they were the main steering group of my alters.
 
I call the parts/alters "parts." I am in IFS therapy so I group them as exiles and protectors; the protectors fall into two categories--managers and firefighters. But it's not as neat and tidy as it sounds as there can be a lot of confusing overlap and rapid switching. I think it would help me if I could manage to sort out pronouns better (e.g. When I say "I" it's often a part talking and not my core self. I am not at the point of calling the whole mess "we," (too scary but it would probably help. I just call it "my system" mostly.
