Unpopular opinion: my "perfect" sourdough starter died after I gave it a name

I named my starter Gerald and suddenly it stopped rising after 3 weeks of being super active. I think it got too much pressure to perform or something. Has anyone else jinxed their bake by getting too attached?

Naming things sets expectations that usually backfire.
