Naming machines helps us (my wife and I). When I start talking model numbers with her, she often can’t follow me. We have so many, and since I’m the “collector” and she’s the “user” for many of them, she doesn’t really connect with the model number of many of the machines that I get ready for her to give a test-drive. She’s in the “if it doesn’t do something for me that I need, I have absolutely no use for it” camp.
Then to add to that, we have multiples of some models that she uses on a daily basis, and when we use the model number to describe a machine, it could be two or more machines. So, we give them names (we call them “nicknames”) so that we can differentiate between two or more machines of the same model.
Nicknames are good. You can name them to indicate who they came from, where you got them, or how you feel about them.....
