Does anyone else name their basses if so what are their names

I call my Sadowsky NYC 4-21 “Sadowsky”, Fender Adam Clayton Signature P “Fender” and Ibanez ATK305 “Ibanez”. They seem fitting.
I name mine after Greek goddesses.
My Classic Stingray 4 is Persephone
My Stingray 5 is Calypso
My P bass is Alectrona
I haven't named my Deluxe P Bass Special or Ibby SR2605 yet.

There's a perfect Game Of Thrones clip for this featuring Arya and The Hound. Perfect but un-post-able. 
I have a few that have names. Here's "Thunderella". She's getting a pair of Curtis Novak BS-DS some day.

Out of curiosity, which one? You can PM me if even talking about it is against the rules of the public forum
The only ones I ever named were these two:
For whatever reason I started calling them the Orange Bomber and the Green Machine. Since the orange one has sadly moved on I don't really call my basses anything other than "the hollowbody" or "the fretless" or "the burgundy one" etc.

"Lots of people name their swords."
Then there was a bit about some chickens (of course).
MIM Jazz bass
name is "Bob"
Not too exciting, it just looks like a "Bob"
Looking forward to winning LOTTO and naming my resultant Alembic "Cosmic Rain"

- "the black one"
- "the red and black one"
- "the ugly one"
- "the other ugly one"
- "the brown one"
- "the one with frets"
all i got.
Only when they go out of adjustment or don't sound how I want. Then their names would get me banned on here.

Is it in season 1? HBO's been running Game of Thrones S1 free to the public I think until the 19th.
Great show - never seen it before!
ah lol that one"Lots of people name their swords."
Outside of reading these threads, I don't think about naming instruments.
So I'll call the wenge topped one 'hybrid striped' (bass)
and the teal one I can call 'Sea'(bass).

I recently realized that my bass was a figurative 'Frankenstien's Monster' (cheap p-bass clone with a true p-bass neck and new wiring, with new pups in the future) and started thinking of it as 'Frankie'... Not sure which side of the 'Name-them-or-not' I'm really on - this may be a special case.
The teal-ish Vampyre is "Gumby."
The glitter boat orange SR305 is "Barfy."
The Dark Lord Vampyre is "Dork Lard."

That's @Fat Freddy on the left and @buldog5151bass on the right.
Sometimes Freddy puts ideas in my head, like "Kill kill kill!"
But luckily Buldog always works his legal magic and I beat the rap.
