Naming inanimate objects

lazyreader · November 2014

boobs? Car? Phone? Wifi?

What do you name and what did you name it? Lol

lazyreader · November 2014

Our cars are Edgar and Charlie.

thewickedfairy · November 2014

DH named our wifi, DeathStar. He's barely a fan. LOL. Otherwise I think that's it.

wannallama · November 2014

I name cars. Any car, doesn't have to be mine. And I name plants and bugs. Although those aren't inanimate.

Squirrel2012 · November 2014

Our Mazda is Maddie, the Ford Ranger Rick.
My family has always named our cars. DH thought I was crazy when he met me. Then I named his truck and now he refers to the cars by their names.
My sourdough starter is Lazarus - though I suppose we could debate whether or not he's inanimate.

I have a concrete raccoon in my yard, it is called Ricky the Racoon. When I bought my house I noticed when I'm looking out my kitchen window I can see a fake turtle on the roof of my porch. His name is Ted. My cat is in love with him. He will climb up there and sit beside Ted for hours. Edited to add cropped pic but couldn't figure how to add it back. Lol

I had a small growth once. I named it Chow Yun Fat.

wvarn · November 2014

I hate to admit it but I lost my virginity in a car named Buford. Lol. It was a 89 Monte Carlo with one headlight.

Kingfisher1 · November 2014

My car's name is Fancy. I didn't name it, the girl who I got it from did and I just left it at that.

Though, I have named the robot I work with. It's got two separate "heads" on it, so I call it the 2-headed dragon. I named one head "Mick" and the other "Jagger". I'm really not sure why.

EveryStormX2 · November 2014

I named my car Bernadette when I bought her in 2013. She's a classy car, and I felt like Bernadette was a classy name

almachs0786 · November 2014

We name our cars.. My Kia is "Ronaldo" and DH's truck is "Veda".. I'm not sure why the truck is a girl and my car is a boy. Haha
I work in surgery and a lot of our equipment has names...

reginaphilangee · November 2014

My first car: Petri from Land Before Time because it was a POS and we were never sure it would "fly"

My boobs: hansel and gretel (no idea where that came from, but it stuck)

(ETA: hansel is the bigger one)

My IV bag and equipment: Ivy and the Vines

Microwave I've had since college: Mickey

And most of my other appliances have names as well. It's a sickness really.

JennyLynn6785 · November 2014

My car's name is Flo. I got it shortly after my grandmother, Florence, passed away. It made me feel like Nanny was close and keeping me safe to have my car named in her honor.

longhornwino0907 · November 2014

My car's name is Sophie. The car I had before her was named Daphne.

My boobs are Mary Kate and Ashley. Which is ironic since my boobs are not small at all. The right one is bigger, that one's Ashley.

Also, I just now mentioned this thread to DH, didn't tell him I was responding, and his immediate response was, "You told them about Mary Kate and Ashley, didn't you?"

cateyes543 · November 2014

My mazda is named Roxy because she is a tough little thing and DH's cavalier is named Green Machine because it is a 1998 beast!

LittleMrsW · November 2014

We call our pool cleaner Nessie, like the Lochness Monster. Before we bought our house the pool was so green it was almost black, it was disgusting.

This made me laugh out loud.

No named items here, but my neighbor's Wi-fi is named "Peter Griffin." I always laugh when I see that and any Wi-fi named something like "FBI Surveillance Van."

Peaseblossom55 · November 2014

I've named all of my cars. My current car is named Molly.

Rooskie87 · November 2014

I have a blue Focus named Peyton (Manning) and DH has a silver corolla named "Old Grey". The cats have a red toy we call their Elmo...

@aeryfaery- I need to name my bike still...maybe I'll do that this winter...

I kept trying to name our WiFi "T.A.R.D.I.S." but for whatever reason, when I change the name, my computer goes all "derp" and can't connect to it unless I change it back to "NETGEAR9".

I always wanted to be able to say, "Hang on, let me connect to the T.A.R.D.I.S." :P

My boobs are Flotsam and Jetsam. I really don't know why I started calling them that. They in no way resemble ugly cartoon eels.

-------
Flotsam and Jetsam are nautical terms. Flotsam is parts of a ship or cargo cast out to sea after a wreck. Jetsam is cargo or ship parts purposely put overboard to lighten a load. Not sure if that's better or worse than ugly cartoon eels

I named my shotgun Sam when I was a teenager. I don't know why but it's still Sam and always will be.

jillianmae2ndstar · November 2014

I've named all my cars, current one is Bridgette. My GPS is named Sharon... Don't really know why

We don;t have names for things but use the masculine pronouns for our house plants. We just call them Aloe Vera, Avacado, etc.

GR8TDANEMOM · November 2014

I name my vibrator. Does that count. His name always changes depends who I'm feeling at the time.

Gasbarro2011 · November 2014

My last 2 laptops have been given 'Firefly' names: Kaylee and Serenity. I name stuff all of the time :-)

WafflesFriendsWork · November 2014

We name our Christmas trees every year. Usually something mildly offensive. We also named my mom's tumor Larry a la Parks and Rec. (Benign and removed! It was scary but it helped to say mean things about Larry.)

Samby86 · November 2014

Our wifi is 'Pretty fly for a wi-fi.' But I sadly can't take credit. I saw it a long time ago in student housing and it still makes me giggle.

The dishwasher is Stevie the wonder washer. But most things in my house are just made into funny names with Mc placed in the middle. LIke our vacuume, Sucky Mc Suckerson. Or our coffee maker is Coffe Mc Coff.

fluttaby32 · November 2014

Our wine opener is "Mike Ditka"

AuburnTiger84 · November 2014

My '98 Izuzu Rodeo that I drove through high school and college was named Betsy. My uncle bought it from me to use as a second vehicle, then he sold it sometime later. Just recently my cousin (from the other side of the family) bought Betsy from a used car store, and her daughter is driving her now. They still call her Betsy.

My husband bought his grandmother's '97 Toyota Corolla when she passed, and he uses it as a commuter car. We call it "the Yo Yo", but I guess that's not really a name.

I just bought a new Ford Edge, but I feel like new cars lack character and therefore, do not warrant a name. But the car is kinda round and fat-looking, so I'm thinking of calling her Claire based on Judd Nelson telling Molly Ringwald that Claire is a fat girls' name in "The Breakfast Club".

Mysh · November 2014

My car is named Tigger, because it is a VW Tiguan. I'm obviously not very creative.

squeegoi · November 2014

My boobs are Moo and Chacha. I don't remember why.

millegirl · November 2014

Naming thins cracks me up! My outbacks name is Ron. The fancy coffee machine at work is Carl 5000.

I think just the car! My old car was Rafiki, he lasted me a good 7 years.

The new car is much girlier, so I call her Belle.

My husband has a habit of naming plants.

Now I feel like I need to name my Nepresso machine...

My car's name is Zelda - to take me on all my adventures

My GPS is Gertrude

My iPad is Pat, generic and genderless

I think this thread is awesome!

Edit: Spelling
