Thread: Naming Inanimate Objects

My computer is named "DUDE"
And i named my guitar "Damien"
My cell phone is named "Brick" cuz it's tooo big!

I named my old computer Elvis. Then he rocked himself out too hard and overheated several pieces of expensive hardware inside. I think he didn't like the name. So this new one's called Eliza.

i dont really name anything i own i give them titles like my car is "the shadow" cus its a dodge shadow
and my computer is "the box" and my i pod is "the steve"
although i did have a coke can that i called betty

my computer used to be called "El Compo" but I've replaced so many components that it oughtta be called "Frankencompo" by now.
I once had a pipe which I named "Darkstone," but it died a horrible death and I've not yet been able to love another

ah yes there is always the big deal of naming a pipe or bong! (half-baked anyone?)

one bong we had was named Egbert's Gift Shop...can you guess how it got thatt name?

My iPod's name is Joe.
You plug it in, and in my computer it says "Joe" It's great.

I think my brother named his PSP Larry.

My old car (a saturn) was named "Scaturn."

When I was a kid and got my first radio/cassette player, I named it Max. Why? No idea.

I don't think I've ever named anything. Not a car, not a computer, not a piece, nothing. No wait, I did name my dog.

But a dog's not an inanimate object

Let's see.
I just decided to name my guitar Lucifer Sam.
My cell phone is Anorexia. (Razr)
My computer is Special Fred. (From a Stephen Lynch comedy song, it's a bit.. slow. When playing oblivion, anyway.)
My airsoft gun is named whoreface.
My iPod is Wadsworth.
Also, this one time I was in a hotel, housekeeping left the towels folded up to look like animals on the beds. Once it was a seal, and I named him Henry. I kept him intact. Anyone who needed a towel would just have to stay wet, damnit! Nobody touches Henry!

this one was

You actually named your skateboard yet you, yourself, are nameless?




















I also had to add, I named my first car Bitch, because it was a bitch on gas.

yah gas prices suck, what kinda car was it btw vex?

It was an old, ugly, rusty Chevy Malibu that I bought off my aunt for $175. She said it was easy on gas but the last time she drove it was years ago. I got it and it sucked my funds dry all the time. My brother ended up running Bitch in the ditch. Brought her back, grill all smashed out. So I gassed her up one last time and drove her to the junkyard. Sold her for 100 bux.

Patted her on the trunk as we left and said, "So long Bitch, it was hell knowin' ya."
My sister joked that I'd wake up the next morning to find Bitch sitting in my driveway all fixed up, like Steven King's Christine.

I half expected her to be out there the next morning too...

Whoa crap Fresh... that's a whole lot a names... but then again, I need a name for my pc now. I immediately know whenever I'm near an oblivion gate because FPS goes down to about 0.3. I think I'm going to name my PC after the political party that's in power in my country at the moment...

I named my current computer Belatrix

our office machines are

That reminds me of the movie Gone in 60 Seconds where they name all the cars girl names.

not just girls names
but floral girls names

I hope we don't expand any further, cause there's not a lot of names left

Hmm, what else is there...?
Ginger
Holly
Iris
Jasmine
Lavender
Rosemary
Willow

Belatrix is a cool name.
Might I ask why you named it that?

Today I just named my car Liza, and if you know anything about Russian literature, then you would have an idea of what my car is like

For those of you who are unfamiliar, Liza is a fairly common name associated with a girl/woman who lives a sad life or suffers a tragedy. Unfortunately since I have limited funds (and my parents have their own cars)... and it's not my car anyway, I have neglected caring for it. The oil is leaking and the transmission needs a tune-up, and the CD player starts skipping when you get about half-way through a CD, depending on how hot it is. Sometimes it's earlier.

Ergo: Liza.

I named my computer Nanaki, and sometimes refer to it as the beast because it's pretty zippy. I've just got to change out the BIOS chip that had a flash go bad.
