    About 15 years ago my daughter and her future husband, Jason were in the family room when we heard a crash. Everyone came running into the kitchen where the noise originated. Our son and his friend had somehow knocked a canister of flour on the floor (don't ask). My son said "lets go get Charlie and they take off. Jason looks at us and inquires "who's Charlie". Nobody really wanted to answer him but everyone laughed, except Jason. A minute later the boys come back from the garage with a industrial vacuum that sort of looked like R2D2. One of the kids had named it years earlier and it just stuck. Jason just shook his head and they went on their way. Later our daughter explained to us that Jason really thought it was super weird that everyone knew this vacuum as Charlie. We couldn't help ourselves. we started naming a lot of objects around the house just to get a reaction from him. To this day, we name objects and encourage their boys to carry on the tradition. He has finally caved and is starting to name objects.

    :-() laughing out loud

    Hmm- we have a pool-cleaner, one of those wheeled, meander around the bottom robot thingies- kids named it *George* ... Seems *George* is a commonly-used 'comical' name... No offense to any real-life George's, be they animated or not so much. :)

    Our GPS device is "The Lady", but sometimes we call her really mean names when she says "Recalculating".

    I briefly dated a girl that named all of her toys and talked baby talk to them before she'd play with them. Her dad royally screwed up.

    I had a "plum" colored Chevy Cavalier when I was in college (it was cheap and nearly new). A girl I dated named it the "Purple People Eater." I have a Strat named Luci and my J bass is named Blondie.

    Those are the only inanimate objects I've named, or had named for me.

    We named our kite Kevin since it had a picture of the kid from Home Alone on it.

    We call our robotic vacuum cleaner "SuckBot." Unoriginal, maybe, but it's fun to say.
