Colette - pretty 66 Red Eye, the name conjures a gorgeous redhead in my mind's eye
Maddie - Maggie's older sister (late 40's 99)
Josephine - 115 with Tiffany decals, gorgeous and for some reason Napoleon's wife came to mind
Audrey - New Home New National, petite and dark brought to mind Audrey Hepburn
Björn - Husqvarna/Viking 33-10, a seriously husky Husky (the name means bear)
Sven - Husqvarna/Viking 21, a much svelter husky
Victoria - 28 with Victorian decals
Claudette - Colette's older sister (earlier Red Eye 66)
And the ones DH forgot:
Adeline - our first Frister & Rossman, a German name for a German-made machine
Leon - the Singer 13, the machine has lion-like quality to it
Penelope - the Singer 48, the name seems to go with the frillly decals
Genevieve - one of the New Homes, very pretty name for a machine with very pretty decals
We have more to name, which will happen as they get cleaned up and put on display and or used. I like the idea of displaying the name on the machine. With so many and with the sieve of a brain that I seem to have, it would be a good thing to do!
