I can't think of names. When I started forums I couldn't think up a fancy nick name so I just went with my J Miller.
When I end up naming a sewing machine it's because the machine or something about it brings a name to mind.
Like my Minnesota Mdl B, as I was working and cleaning her up the name Minerva came to mind. It stuck, that's her name.
My White DRESSMASTER was once owned by someone name Louise Stanley. So her name was from then on, Louise.
A lady we bought a sewing machine cabinet from gave us a tip on a Singer 66 at Habitat For Humanity. Turned out it was an unmolested 66-1 still with it's back clamp presser foot shaft. The lady who directed us to her was named Jean, so that machine is Jean.
My New Home Model AB had a mouse nest in it. So we named it Mini in honor of Mini Mouse.
That's kind of how my machines get named.
I have other machines that mean a great deal to me, like my mom's old HOTHER clone or the 66 treadle that my cousin gave me that don't have a name. It's not because I don't want to, it's just that nothing has come to mind that's stuck.
