Naming stuff.

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!:rolleyes:

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

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!!
