All our house plants get names, too, such as George, the peace lilly, and Basil II (Basil I had a long reign but eventually gave up the ghost after we had an extended holiday in Canada...).



We don't like to name house plants so that we won't get too attached.  We kill quite a lot of them.
Advice worth what you just paid for it.

So do we! I hesitate to use the term "brown fingers"... but you get the idea. :D

I don't really blame you for hesitating to use that term  :lol:

Pot plants don't really go with your signature though  :P

Great thread and some good names. Far nicer than the  name for my Gordon Smith Graduate slimline 60 that's called heavy f****r. Weighs an absolute ton.

Only got two named guitars, both Ibanez NDM1s. The one that still has it's gaffa tape is The Gaffer, the other, that was stripped of it and oiled is The Table. Because it looks like a coffee table... None of the others have names.
When you´re racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just pies.

The one in my hands is called "this one", the other ones are called "the one over there" or "the one upstairs".

I don't name my guitars, but if I did, my main weapon of choice would be called "Slaughteraxe - Destroyer of Worlds, Bane of the Living, Master of the Dead, Wielder of the Apocalyptic Fury".

I kinda like it...

Mine are called Classic, Mojo, Strat, bass and acoustic.

When I had two strats they were called mexican one and yank one.


I actually find it quite cringeworthy when people name guitars and cars and whatnot. It makes me think of little girls and dolls.

If guitars were like dogs, that would be its kennel/show name.  But it's a bit unwieldy, so you could also have a pet name for it - e.g. my brother's dog was officially called "Stockpom Whistling William" ( :roll: ) but he was known as "Duke".

So maybe you could have "Slaughteraxe - Destroyer of Worlds, Bane of the Living, Master of the Dead, Wielder of the Apocalyptic Fury"....

... otherwise known as "Kevin".

And claim it's named after Kevin Sharp, who is more metal than the big silly name anyway.
