Naming your belongings

robo · 09-10-2007 12:10am #1

Does anyone out there name your belongings like bike, car, MP3 player, phone, PC/laptop etc?

biko · 09-10-2007 12:11am

You first (then I show mine)

JohnnyStones · 09-10-2007 12:11am

i call my guitar Susan!!

aidan_walsh · 09-10-2007 12:12am

Yes. But I'm lazy and the naming process generally consists of prefacing the item's given name with "my".

Rabies · 09-10-2007 12:13am

I name everything 'mine'

robo · 09-10-2007 12:14am

Alright then...well my old car was a green car and I called it Oscar...after my avator!

Ruu_Old · 09-10-2007 12:17am

My old computer is named Dent.

Terry · 09-10-2007 12:17am

Everything I own is either named "yoke" or "Thingy". The names are interchangeable.

Rabies · 09-10-2007 12:18am

Was it grumpy?

cornbb · 09-10-2007 12:19am

The only belongings its ok to make up names for are guitars and girlfriends. Otherwise its just weird.

biko · 09-10-2007 12:19am

I gave my car a name too, just so I can beg it to start.

Krieg · 09-10-2007 12:20am

Oddly yes

I used to name my trousers :rolleyes:
I usually have about 6+ trousers and I named them depending on what Girl I was 'with' last, while wearing them.
Dont ask me why

JohnnyStones · 09-10-2007 12:21am

Does a penis count as a belonging, if so i call mine fergal!;)

In the end it was, especially on cold mornings...the growls were awful.

I have Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe. Theyre all bass guitars!

Rachel is the most beautiful (ricky 4003 fireglo), Monica the most functional (Aria Pro II Libra series), and Phoebe the most whacky (fretless Jazz Bass). I have more still but their names arent so well derived.

Really, then doesn't that make masturbation seem a little gay.

tman · 09-10-2007 12:31am

Just my pcs usually...
Loki was my last one, and my current one is Sol.

Once I get a car I'll definitely be giving that a name...

cazzy · 09-10-2007 12:33am

I call my car fanta cause its orange, my laptop lappy, my sat nav gurtrude.
Gurtrude is the only one that talks to me though.

leninbenjamin · 09-10-2007 12:34am

my PC: "piece of sh*te"

my guitar: "my little peavey" or when i'm in a bad mood "my POS slab of plywood"

that's pretty much it.

Gekko · 09-10-2007 1:40am

Hhhmm let's see. I have a Pen called Jean Marie...Jean Marie le Pen.

I have a bin called Osama.....:D

Manic Moran · 09-10-2007 2:06am

My two cars are The Crumpmobile MkIII and MkIV. You can imagine what the next one will be named.

My tank is named "Diplomatic Incident", my previous tank was named "Barely Legal." The Hummer was named "Gutless B*tch" due to a horsepower-to-weight problem.

I was instructed to name my rifle in Basic, I chose "Athena", though I never referred to it as such. My personal weapons and most everything else I have are un-named, barring my cuddly toys, too numerous to list here.

Black Swan · 09-10-2007 4:51am

I used to call my old laptop all kinds of names when it wasn't working, but I cannot repeat them here.

Mahatma coat · 09-10-2007 5:39am

Eh MM? probably a silly question but are you allowed to scrawl that somewhere on the tank ala the WW2 bomber pilots? that'd be kewl

I have named a few of me cars, my Fave was a Bright yellow 4.1L XD Ute that I called Safron (I'm just mad about Safron...... ye know the song)

I tried naming a bit of my farm after the Granny but it was painful listening to Aussies butcherin the pronunciation.

Yep.

We weren't allowed paint naked women on them like the pilots would though. Skulls were sometimes acceptable. Within those limits, you have to be creative when decorating your tank.

There's nothing wrong with the name Maureen, it's just not a good name for a Cock!!!:)

Mossy Monk · 09-10-2007 8:55am

My PC goes by the name PC
My laptop goes by the name of laptop
My car is called car
My home is called home

And so on

H.O.T.A.S. · 09-10-2007 9:50am

My old MP3 player was named "Jimmy the Music Box O'Brien"

What about your phone?

Me, I don't name anything really... my cat's name is Cat... So if I didn't name my pet, you can bet I didn't name inanimate objects like my laptop.

John Mason · 09-10-2007 10:50am

i have named my cars - my first car was called kenny 'cos he was orange and south park had just come out

my second car was called Vincent Williams (VM Golf)

and my current car is arabella because i was in the middle of a nervous breakdown at the time:D

Stephen · 09-10-2007 11:00am

The only one of my posessions that has a name is my PC, and only because Windows looks for one when you install it. It is called Calculon in honour of Futurama

Mahatma coat · 09-10-2007 11:31am

OK Now I have machine envy

I want weapons on my Dozer

Plus, when you have sex with a woman, you're technically a lesbian, which I think is pretty cool!

I call it a phone. It is a trend that continues for all of my posessions. I too had a cat that I called cat.

Tar.Aldarion · 09-10-2007 11:50am

It's my sexbox and I call her sorny.
