Naming stuff.

Sarge47 · 08-29-2007, 04:08 AM

So how many of you guys out there have named your guns like Davey Crockett did? Remember "Old Betsy"? How about your knives? I got three named "Buck".
One guy I know was in construction and named his hammer "Bertha". Another young fellow started driving one of our 40' transit buses and named his "Clarice". Why all girls' names? If I ever did name a gun I might want to call it "Butch" or "Duke". If I was a woman I might be offended if someone named a tool after me, unless I got a % of the profit!

I used to call my old pos truck names all the time but I can't repeat them here

I have never named anything that I've owned but I guess peopl do it to make it their own. Actually that truch did have a name but my freinds named it not me, they called it The Big Green Nasty.

Its funny most names come from freinds, or someome just says it to be funny and it sticks.

Yeah I name stuff... animals and ppl, and only if I have to. But I see almost "personality" in things like guns knives and other tools. Traits that I guess they could be labeled for.

When I was 14 I bought my first knife, I called it 'Justin'

Every weapon I've ever owned has shared that name, Justin Case.

I called my first car 'Slut', because it ran on anything you put in it.

I call my current Jeep 'b*tch', well, because it's a JEEP!!
