Does anyone else name their instruments?

[ForeverOdin]

(I hope this hasn't been asked here before)
I realize naming instruments isn't exactly an uncommon thing for musicians, but does anyone here do it? (For those who have them of course).
And if you have any reason why you call them a certain name, feel free to share too.

I myself just always gave them [generally female] names I've always liked/thought were cool sounding.

First Elec. Guitar - Freyja (Except this one, I was keeping with Nordic stuff I've always loved =P )
Cherry Red Classical - Darci
Semi-Hollow Electric - Maria

Keyboard - Vivian
Saxophone - ??? (I actually haven't named it yet, but then, I haven't learned how to play it yet either. >.>)

So, does anyone else do this, or am I just weird (at least to MLR)?

Whilst I have several instruments, only two are named:

- My seven-string guitar recently got named dJacqui. Yes, that d is there. No, it's not a typo. Ask Tarby to explain.

- My Aria guitar is called Ol' Faithful. It's a shitty Gibson SG knock of from the 80s, yet it's still one of the most comfortable guitars i've ever played.

I was thinking about this the other day. I don't name my instruments, unfortunately.

I named my Electric Bass; Gary. Named after my old cat.
I call my Keyboard just keyboard though.

Not just instruments, I have a habit on naming things I use regularly like gadgets and cars.

I named my guitar Victoria. As for my computer, Wheatley.

Portal 2 fan, huh? My brother's computer's name is GLaDOS. (He's a bigger Portal nut than me) Sadly, he's not musically inclined.

[MiuMiuChuu]

I name my best companion old Macbook Pro; Taylor.
It's a reference to CSI:NY btw. I used to love that horrible show.

All my phones, the ones I used to have and the one I have right now is always named "Clover"
My iPod's "Ojou"

Funny enough, my family used to own four cars and I conveniently name them Reed, Susan, Ben, and Johnny.
They just sold Susan last year. She was my favorite. ;-;

You know, I just call my keyboard my baby and my guitars are happy and grumpy xD not really names, just kind of how I refer to them in my head. y'all seem to bea bit more creative within xD

HA. I see what you did there.

[PinkieGuy]

On that note, my Ipod is called 'The Titanic'... when i plug it in, it says "The Titanic Is Syncing".

[BeaM]

Yeah, I kinda do this too...

[Pickslide1992]

I named my pedalboard Renaissance, since it's a multieffect unit.

Sorry about the unoriginality, folks.

[ForeverOdin]

Woot. Cool to see that I'm not the only one here who does this time to time. ^.^

And also neat to see some name their computers/other audio equipment. I've never really done this myself, but I'll definitely count it.

[darksymphony]

Guilty!

Stage Piano - Antoinette
AX-Synth - Mio
SH-01 - Ping

[SwissArmyCheese]

I nicknamed my Alto Saxaphone Sasha. It just felt right.

[Fimbulin]

I named my awesome guitar "Regalo". You can probably guess why.
