My basses never stick around long enough for me to get attached... but enough even they last I feel like I'd never name 'em, well anything beyond "The Purty One" and "The Funny Lookin' One".
I have a Fender P named Alien, an old Hondo named Hondo,lol, a Dean....hmm not named, and my main player a Fender J, which I consider the only lady in the group she sings so well named Melody. The rest growl so well I cant help think of them as the "boys".
I've started calling my Precision Clotho... and as soon as I pay off the layaway I'll have [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] here...
I've never named my basses.
If I were to start, my Spector Rebop would be Sher Khan, and my NS-2A would be Bagheera.
I used to have a MIJ Jazz Bass 75 RI and an OLP MM2. Never named them, but come to think of it, the Jazz would be called 'Ash' (think Army Of Darkness) and the OLP was Bullet.

A friend and student of mine name my fretless J Freddy, and she named the fretless P that I'm lending her (giving to her when the times comes to pass the thunder on) Gilbert.
In the movie "Cool Hand Luke" there's a scene where a voluptuous blonde washes her car with her body and a hose and soapy water, teasing the Southern road gang of prisoners working out front of her place.
George Kennedy's character "Dragline" is dying just watching her get all wet & soapy and with each shovelful of gravel he starts muttering "...anything dat look dat good gotta be named "Lucille" and "Ohhhh Lucillllllllle !!"
It's a great scene. But he and BB King have it right in my book.
All my guitars are "Lucille" hahahahaha!

My basses have names like a bowling team - Bert, Bob, Blackie, Junior. My kids named some of them.
