Do you name inanimate objects?

    We will give names to darn near anything...our teddy bears (hardly surprising), cars, vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, just to name a few. Do any of you name stuff? If so, what & how do you pick the names?
    A few examples of ours;
    Cars- Trevor the Jeep & Sally Sodium, the Ioniq
    Vacuum cleaners- Herbert the Hoover & Bruce the Shark (after the mechanical shark from “Jaws”)
    Sewing machines - Naomi the Janome and Beverly the Singer (after Beverly Sills, the opera singer.)

    No, but my kids name my cars, and they are old enough to have their licenses.

    I named my kids and they are inanimate a good portion of the time. Does that count?

    Not lately. When I was a kid, in the early seventies, we had the giant green Pontiac station wagon that we called "the tank."

    I don't name inanimate objects. They don't come when they are called, so I never felt the need to name them.

    I/we do. I think it's more of an inside thing, meant as a joke. Lately everything is named after my wife's side of the family.

    Funny, the kids named my red 2006 Dodge 2500 4x4 Diesel, "Big Red".
    I recently bought a new red Jeep Wrangler, and its name is "Little Red".
    It makes the kids happy.
