LOL, let me try to remember.
Franklin 1911 by Sears = Mrs. Franklin. She's a treadle machine in a parlor cabinet. I started to name her Madame Franklin, but she just doesn't look like a Madame.
Singer 66-4 = Mr. Lucky. I was looking for parts for Mr. Crinkle at the LSMG and he brought out this 66. He had already pulled some parts off of it, and true to myself I would not part it out. So I rescued him, bought a few of the missing parts and put Mr. Lucky back in business. I haven't used him yet as he doesn't have a case or cabinet. But I will.
Singer 66-18 #1 = Mr. Crinkle. He came to me with a busted up motor and thread take up lever. Looked like a brute that had taken a beating. So I named him Mr. Crinkle.
Singer 66-18 #2 = Mrs. Crinkle. Mr. Crinkle needed a wife and this one kind of had a female attitude.
Singer 66-18 #3 = Gertrude. My wife named this one before we even picked her up.
Singer 99K #1 = Lady Godiva She was named that cos she came to me naked. I had to dress her. I even did a thread on her:

Singer 99K #2 = Rusty Rusty was a pitiful little derelict all rusted up and miserable. It took me three months and several parts to get him back in action. So, the name Rusty kinda stuck.
Kenmore 120-491 = Betty. Ah, this poor miserable thing came to me all seized up and filled with lint and fuzz. I got her all cleaned up, freed up, and working. Sort of. The design is ugly so I named her Ugly Betty. My wife changed it to just Betty.
She's still being uncooperative, so I just might put the Ugly back.

White Dressmaster = Louise. Carved in her case in script is the name J. Louise Stanley. Her original owner thought enough to name her so why should I change it?
Minnesota Mdl B = Minerva. I don't know why but as I was cleaning this machine up the name Minerva just popped into my mind. So, Minerva it was and is.

New Home AB = Minni. This machine was rescued from a storage locker and had been the home to a bunch of mice. What a mess. They chewed the cords, the box, peed all over it causing a lot of rust and just messed it up big time. But in spite of all that the machine still sews very nice. So I named her Minni.

I "think" these are all the ones we've named. If I remember any more I'll list 'em.
