My old Singer treadle is Sally...that's what she told me her name was! Now the Kenmore that I use and have had for almost 10 years is un named..she has yet to tell me her name! Now my van was named Big Bertha. The truck I drive now is called the Time Bomb.....long story! I think I'm the only one in the family that names machines and cars though. And yes i talk to them. When I bought my first car I had to cuss it every morning or it would NOT crank! My grandmother didn't believe me on that till she watched for a week....one morning I'd cuss it and it would crank...the next morning I didn't...she had to take me to work!
