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" ?
It's just that these machines each seem to have their own personalities...this one is fussy about this...that one refuses to do that...can't let anything with a personality go without a name! LOL
Charlee,
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
