Some I name and some I don't. It does depend upon ho much each one sees. Sometimes those names are not nice and should never be said out loud!

I don't name my machines. I just call them "the Bernina", "the 301" and the "the Rocketeer". We don't name our cars either except that my husband has "Baby" on the key tag for his 34 Ford. *rolling eyes*

I named my Bernina Italia when I bought her 17 years ago - because she took all the money I was saving to go back to Italy to visit my cousins! No regrets!!!

I named my FW Molly, which I recently found out is a street name for a drug. When I told my daughter who gifted me Molly that, she said "Well Mom, quilting is your crack of choice!"
