I named him!
 

My first male machine! I named him "Tank"! So darn heavy, he came by the name honestly! Does anyone name their machines after a male or are they are girl names?

I have:
big mama
Annabelle
Esther & OPal
Matilda
Sylvie
Sweet Pea
and my latest "Tank" a male!

I call my Brother Machine "Oh Brother"!!

I'll bet the girls were happy to see Tank his being a heavyweight and all.

Oh, the girls won't get to see him. He can't make it upstairs where the girls are, maybe that is for the best!

My Mother says I am nuts but there is :
Eloise, the Elna Pro Quilter
Charlie, the School model Singer
Janome, of course a Janome
Sassy Singer, 404 Slantomatic
Plain Jane, ancient Kenmore
Indee, 31-15 Singer Industrial Machine
Grandma, my first Singer Futura rightfully named for it was bought with inheritance from Grandma
BAbyBoy, the Baby Lock Serger
and there are a few more which are not named and have not came up with a name for the newest Singer, not sure the model..

I've been known to call one of mine sonofa(bleep) ..... but that doesn't count does it?

here is the story about Mr. Ed (educational)

Now that is truly an act of Love. Mr Ed is one lucky machine. It is fun to hear about some male sewing machines and they story.

I call mine 301A, 1630, 55, MO634DV, but that may be an R2D2, C3PO thing....really liked Star Wars and (sigh) Hans Solo.

I named my 328 Frank, short for Frankenstein, because that is what he looks like next to my FW's and 201! To date, Frank is my only male machine.

My Featherweight is "Sera" short for Serendipity-as she was a very very fortunate machine found a very unexpected time.

Scotty lives at my house. He is a Singer 15 handcranck made in Scottland.

I was going to name my Davis VF after Steven Tyler because it is such a tomboy, but my DH didn't like that idea!! LOL

No, I don't name them, I call them by number - 930, 630, etc.

no boys here yet, but I do have a heavyweight machine that isn't named. It was my grandmothers.
Seems only fitting, since he is one heeeavy guy and a real workhorse, that he get his male moniker.
Doesn't sound like a tough name, but I think I'll call him Gus, after the mouse in Cinderella.
I just hope he doesn't get amorous with my girlies :cool: ...lol :D

Maybe if they get together you will get baby featherweights!! Now wouldn't that be cool!!

Yes, it probably is for the best. You maybe wouldn't want toy sewing machines popping up. hehehe

Loved this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL that is all I could think of yes get them together we will have baby featherweights to pass around!! LOL

LOL this is such a funny thread!!!! Have fun with Tank!!! :D

I named my red Featherweight----Eric the Red----I am a Dane

Does it count that DH has not named his FW yet? Sure to be a boy name LOL (I refer to him as Noname) :)

Me, too. froggyintexas

I named my Pfaff, Jean Luc, after the balded guy on Star Trek. The Bernina is Bernie, not too original huh? My car is named the Enterprise (Star Trek). Our microwave oven is called Hanford, after the plant down near Tri-Cities, where the Manhatten Project's stuff was made. My zip ripper is called Jack.

Haven't named my sewing machines, but I have given names to my cars.

Love it, All these guy machines, Eric, Tank, Gurs, Frank and Red and many others. Yea, it is fun to read about all these male machines!

Bob--just plain ole Bob is my little Bernina 240. My gd named him when she was 9 yrs old and claimed it for her own when little brother is old enough to stay out of her room. lol I have had my 820 for over a year and it does not have a name.
