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.

Always be true to yourself!
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.
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?
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.
