My 3 year old named his stuffed dog 'Junior Boots.' I have no idea where he got that idea for a name.
I haven't named anything since I was in high school. My Honda was named Hannah. Still miss that car.
My car is named Trixie... the one before that was named Bessie (these are my only two cars). I remember having two names I was deciding between when I named Trix, but I don't remember the second choice.I'm contemplating naming the house, but it has to be something awesome like Manderley or Pemberley or Maxine.
I haven't named anything, but when I drop my iPod, I'm all, "I'm so sorry, baby! are you alright, sweetie?"
LOL, Britt, I love that!My car is named Normal, and that's about it. My father has names for many things in his garage: Rene the (de) golf cart, Snuffaluffagus the leaf vacuum, Huffy the leaf blower, etc.
My first car was a Subaru. Even then I didn't name it. It was just the little pony car, because it had to be encouraged going up hills.

I call almost everything 'Bob'. I'm not sure why, but that is my go to name, although I named my Nook 'my very expensive toy'.
Cash for clunkers.The big gov't trade-in.
My first car was a '73 Volkswagon Superbeetle. I named him Fred after Fred Sanford because he was loud and dramatic and falling apart and he was always faking a heart attack. I loved him so.
my car's name is Danny. and i refer to my backpack as Marvin. i also call my ipod Leslie. i talk to them like they're real people. that's about it though.

He frequently < a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZi31a... faked a heart attack to get his way. It never worked.
cripes, Barb. Way to make me feel old.I don't have names for things, but I do talk to them. I teared up when my minivan went to the scrap yard. I was sad when I saw the leftover seat in the garage. I moped when we burned a broken dining room chair in a bonfire.
I fear talking about buying a new car in front of my current car. I don't want to hurt her feelings.

Maybe they didn't have Sanford & Son in Canada. That's what I'm thinking...
I talk to my car sometimes but I haven't named her. Mostly stuff like, "Good girl," and "Can you believe that?" not anything like a conversation. I guess since I can't have a dog, I talk to my car like she's a dog.
I have a name for my first car and my bow. A lot of guys refer to cars/boats/bikes etc. as "her" or "she" though so it's not that unusual I think.
Toyo for the car. Guess what make it is? *rolls eyes*Smelly Nelly was the Ford when I was a tot.
I have a Dodge Durango named Donnie Durango...after Donnie Darko, of course!My husband names all of his vehicles. they are all girl names, so he will say "Nicole did this" or "Rachel was being naughty today" and I'm usually like WTF?? Until I realize it's the fricken truck.

I don't think I've ever named anything. I am unaturally attached to many objects, but they don't have names.@Barb & Heidi: They had Sanford & Son in Canada... I remember it.
We name our cars, mine is Madame Zsa Zsa and my husbands is Ragnhild.He named our first dishwasher and our watchdragon :-)

I love your pool cleaner's name, Gail! :) Cute.
My mom named her '76 camaro "Betsy." As the years passed, she became "Ole Betsy." She talked to her car alot, too... gently coaxing it to behave.
Also, I'm glad to know the Canadians weren't deprived of Sanford & Son... just Barb. :)
I name my toys. And pillows. Louise, how do you pronounce Ragnhild?
Well it's an icelandic name (the car is a black audi station car) something like Raavnhild with a hard D
NOT body parts. Damn. And I was so excited.
We have a plunger named "Sean" because my friend Sean caused the need for an extra-strength plunger.
I'm fascinated that so many people name their cars.

THanks! I remembered late in the evening...
Do you name your car? Do you have a gun named Vera? A guitar named Lucille?
I don't. I already attach too much sentimental value to things without giving them names too. I already cry when I sell a car. I did have a car that came with the name Winnifred, and Zu named Dora the Explorer. I had to work hard not to imagine them putting her down when we traded her during the big government trade in that I'm blanking on the title of.
I did have friends in college who named every single item in their dorm room. There were post-its on every floor tile, every drawer, etc. That was a little too far.
