My Featherweight is "Honey"...because she was a birthday gift from my honey... :)
My Janome is Raquel, because she's beautiful! ;)
I also have Sarge the Serger, Hannah the 9W treadle, Edna the W&W 8 treadle, Liz the Kenmore, Bud the Brother, Rita is the 201-2, Carrie is the 66-1 treadle, Midge is the 99, and the others don't have names yet because they aren't up and running.

So far I have "Ruby" because my friends call me Rudy and I thought Ruby was a more appropriate name for my first featherweight born on my same birth month and year. The second one I got is named "Sweet Caroline" after my mother. She is a beauty 1947. I don't know either of the original owners.

My white one is Connie, and I was stuck for a name for the 222 I got, but she is now Cassie - her bobbin case was missing until I got the seller to send me one. I pointed out that he stated on ebay that she was working, and I contended that she couldn't work without a bobbin case!

My FW is black and I've named her Layla. I got her for a steal at a garage sale.
I don't have names for my other machines, but I call my Kenmore badged Janome "the workhorse" because she goes through anything and keeps on ticking - even having been dumped twice by the cats before I started using a dedicated table instead of the old sewing machine cabinet. The Babylock I might should call "fussy." LOL.

Mine are "Blueberry" as I completely took her apart and gave her a new facelift of Metalic Blue paint. My first one is black and her name is "Queen Mother" Because everyone at Featherweight class was comparing theirs to her as she is one beautiful lady and they actually gave her the name. And another black one I have is "Jasmine" and she just looked like a Jasmine??? My white one is "Celery" as she has a greenish tint to her. I love tham all!!!
