    I have a name for all of my vintage machines but not the computerized one's. Especially if the person who owned it previously is someone that I knew, or if the date of manufacture has special significance, it's kind of a tribute to them.

    I don't give any inanimate object a name.

    Me either. I've never understood why people do that. Plus there's the confusion factor when you are in a conversation with someone else and refer to a machine by a name other than the brand name, as the OP brought up.

    I have Sadie and Fern and are sometimes referred as members of the male canine species mothers. Not to often but sometimes.

    I have never named a machine before (of any type - oh, except Rover, my Roomba vacuum). But for some reason the Bernina that just came home with me a couple of weeks ago became Bernie immediately. Not very creative, am I?

    We don't name "things"--with one exception--we do call our "Garmin" by a name, but as a joke, since "she" is always telling us where to go/which way to turn.
