I don't give any inanimate object a name.

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

Candace

Me either.

Umm let's see....Abby, Myrtle, Little Girl, Juke, Big Green, Little Green, Betsy, yep guess that would be naming them... (a few are just the Singers, sergers, and embroidery machines, they don't have names)..LOL

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?

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.

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.

Oh, yeah! My Juki f600 is Juju, my Juki 2010q is Trixie Belle, my Singer 201 is My Sharona, and the 15 Japanese clone we picked up today was just named Cloe. I named my plants, too. LOL!

No unless you want to call "new machine", "old machine" names

my FW is named Aunt Betty Lou after my next door neighbor who inspired me and taught me hand sewing at the age of 3 or 4. she had me sew buttons to fabric and i could keep any one i sewed down.
