I have a Singer 347 named Audrey because she is the same color as Tiffany's jewelry boxes.
My poor, cheapie Singer has no name. The White 130 sitting in the garage I just call The Beastie after someone on here told me these machines were "real beasts".
The Singer 401 sitting there for repair has no name yet as she hasn't told me what it is. I am going this week to pick up her sister, a Singer 403. I'm hoping when they are sitting side by side I'll hear their names. I will ask the family of the deceased owner of the 403 what her name was - that might be her name.
Funny...I never thought about naming machines either, but my daughter names everything. Her most prized possession, a bright red metallic Charger, is named Veronica. She is now naming her vintage machines, too. The only one I am sure of is her dark green Elna Supramatic, which of course, is named Grasshopper.

My new machine came with the name Jane. But Ive gave her a few cuss words for names. She is hard to thread and I dont like the bobbin case. She dosnt like me and I dont like her.
If she would stop breaking the thread we might have a better relationship.
My Brother is Trusty.
I am now appriciating my Sapphire much more so will have to name her something nice like Jewel.

I don't normally name my machines and haven't named my Horizon.
But, I did buy a featherweight a few months ago and named her Felicity. And we bought an old Singer 201 and hubby called her Wendy so that's what we refer to her as...lol
