I'm trying to think of a name for mine and I'm thinking about naming her "Florance Ida Katherine" after my mother.
And does anyone refer to their sewing machine as a "he" ?

My featherweight is painted Plum Crazy purple , so her name is Mrs. Peacock after the lady in the Clue game. My big Singer is Queenie , because she is the boss of the sewing room and so very beautiful. My others don't have names yet.

I agree, that is why I name the machines. The other vintage machines I haven't had a chance to work with are patiently waiting.
Here is my list of vintage machines that I use:
Davis NVF #1: Penny
Davis NVF#2: Jade
National Two Spools: Mr. Cowboy
Eldredge Two Spools: Melinda, she is married to Mr. Cowboy
Singer 15-90: Jasmine
Singer 328K: Hank the Tank
Singer 201: Starr
Singer 66-1: Thistle Marie
Singer 66-1: Lily
Singer FW 221: Heather

I love how y'all came up with Ruby and Big Bertha! I was afraid my Elly was going to have her name in common with 3999 other machines. I just figured she would be the only one in my house so I went with it anyway!
Everyone has great names for their machines. I think we name them because we love them like they are our kids. I even buckle mine up when they go for a ride!
