Naming your belongings

robo

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

biko

You first (then I show mine)

JohnnyStones

i call my guitar Susan!!

aidan_walsh

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

Rabies

I name everything 'mine'

robo

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

Ruu_Old

My old computer is named Dent.

Terry

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

Rabies

Was it grumpy?

cornbb

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

biko

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

Krieg

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

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

Loki was my last one, and my current one is Sol.

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

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.

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

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.

Witness the bore evacuator. (The bulgy bit on the gun tube)

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!!!:)
