All the custom chips within the Amiga had girls names. I couldnt remember them so did a quick google search and got:

Over the years, the chipset was redesigned several times. The first chipset in the Amiga 1000 is called OCS, for Original Chip Set. It consists of the chips Paula, Agnus, and Denise. With these, you can display graphics in resolutions up to 640x512 and in up to 4096 colors, a fantastic achievement in 1985.
