After seeing Madison mentioned, I couldn't resist putting in my two-cents
worth of local naming conventions.  Here we go:
	!	shreik	(Madison is the only place I've heard this used)
	#	pound
	$	dollar
	^	up
	(	open
	)	close
	<>	angle brackets or brockets
	[]	square brackets or open and close square
	{}	open and close squiggle
	~	tilda or twiddle to some
	\	back
	|	pipe
	`	back quote
