Edit: I fibbed. Had a 2001 Dodge Dakota that went by "The Duck Odor" which I traded for a 2006 GMC that got named "Kermit". (It ain't easy being green...) Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

I named the trailer hitch on one of our trucks, after my shin found it . It rhymed with Rock chucker Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

My daughter named our new Sequoia "Lucy". I don't know why, but it stuck. _________________________ You do NOT have the right to never be offended. | |||

Just my johnson. I call it: retractable baton. Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed. Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists. Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed. | |||

Normally, no. The single exception is my S&W Model 19 with a 2.5 inch barrel. I was with someone at an indoor range and we were assigned lane 1, which is situated all the way to the left, against the wall. The guy I was with told me, after we were finished, that there were a couple of other people a few lanes away from us and every time I was shooting the Model 19 they would stop and look our way with a “What the heck is that guy shooting!?!” look on their faces. I laughed and said “Well, we were against the wall, so the sound would bounce off and .357 Magnums have a pretty good thump to them, anyway, I imagine short barreled ones even more so.” Since that day I have referred to it by ‘Thumper’. ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

Not only no for myself, but I don't at present know personally anyone who does. Two exceptions: I knew a guy in the Navy that called his truck "Shoulda", as in "Shoulda bought a Chevy". My late mother called her '73 Chrysler New Yorker "Big Mama"; my late father just called it a big mother. === I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. | |||

Only one of my objects has a name. It is a Sako TRG-21 named Infidel. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

Some women. It's certainly not something I do, and I can't think of any friends who do. Of course they could be naming things we don't talk about, so there's that...  | |||

Sometimes..... My FIL (88 yrs old) and I always carry and sometimes it's different pistols. I'll ask "What are you carrying?" and he might say Casey (a Kimber KC revolver)! I might say my companion is Gaston (a G19)! Walter, Smitty, the King, and other names are bantered about. It's entertaining. BTW, we shoot/train with all of the pistols we carry! | |||

Can only think of having named one inanimate object. My Jeep has been with me for 17yrs and earned a name. Ruby | |||

Generally, no. Sometimes I'll jokingly nickname an old low mileage luxury car "Beatrice," but that's about it. | |||

Only my airplanes and the car's GPS. I talk to the plane, especially at night and over water. I talk nice... The GPS is Phoebe, the polite version of PB - psycho bitch. | |||

A long time ago I bought a hammer and it was un named for a short period .It was a 22oz Estwing framing hammer that had a milled face. HAD (operative word) for about an hour before I took the skin off my thumb knuckle down to the bone. That was 45 years ago and I still have and use Killer. I'm alright it's the rest of the world that's all screwed up! | |||

Nope, never have but I don’t judge anyone who does. If you really like something, then it is very personal to you. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

I named my P225, La’Keysha. | |||

Just about everywhere I've been, there's been one aircraft or vehicle in the fleet that's "christine." Sometimes several. The crappiest one usually carries the title. Sometimes it's a toss-up. | |||

and every one of them words rang true and glowed like burnin’ coal. |
I don’t normally name inanimate objects. Usually, I call it by a variation of the model name (The Tundra, The P228, The Goldtop Les Paul). On a few occasions, I add in a cuss word if I’m feeling particularly salty. | |||

No I do own a boat, but it's not named either. IMO, if you can put it on a trailer that can be towed without a CDL, it's not big enough to name. | |||
