Naming Inanimate Objects.

[TheFacelessOne]

Hmmm....I don't think it's crazy, but I haven't named any myself.

Hmm...I'll start now.

Computer! Your new name is

SITHEMBILE!


Fitting...but too hard to pronounce.

NAYELI!

Means "I love you" in some Native American language.

Yeah...yeah...

When I was kid I had two stuffed dogs named Fred and George, and when (read: if) I ever acquire a human skull it will be named Skully.

 

[TheXRatedDodo]

My pipe is named frank ^_^

 

[Triple G]

My Cap answers to the name "Miriam".

 

[TheXRatedDodo]

I name my pipes, including The Pipe With No Name, because technically, that is its name; ironic, ain't it? Oh, and my iPhone is named Dr. Feelgood.

Hooray, another person that names their pipes! LEZ BE FRANZ.

I dig the irony that can come into naming your pipes. Shifty stuff. Mine was a play off "Talk to frank" the british drug propaganda organisation thingy.
I'll be buying a nice tobacco pipe soon so I have something less conspicuous and 10x more stylish (because we all know there's nothing more stylish than a nice, well crafted tobacco pipe) so I'm gonna have to start thinking of a clever name for it!

 

[Rayansaki]

1.Does anyone else give inanimate objects names?
2.Do you think this is crazy?
3.?????
4.PROFIT!

So you've been reading Encylopediadramatica, I presume.
OT:Nope, I don't. I care a LOT about all my belongings though.

It's a south park quote, why would it be from reading Encyclopediadramatica?

Cause the site uses this equation every bloody occasion it gets. Wouldn't surprise me if South Park used it as a reference to the website, not the other way around. From ED, ???? is 'a mystical process by which PROFIT always ensues.'

The south park episode is 12 years old, I'm pretty sure ED didn't even exist yet.

 

[Mikkaddo]

I not only name objects... I name the combinations of said objects (ex.: Outfits having names like "Ze Ubermensch")

I'm not crazy, you are.

I have a name for alot of my things, my car is Macht (german for POWER, is the name for my . . .well . . . Japanese car) and every one of my blades has a name. There's Silver Flame, Gildre, Black Pearl, and Sweeney that I can think of at the moment.

I'm not crazy! I'm the only one who';s NOT crazy!

 

[Junkle]

Yep, but I hadn't really thought about it. My computer is named Piglet, not entirely sure why cause it's a fairly powerful gaming computer. My hat is named Dapper, cause that's what he is. Oh, and my fridge is Will. I think that's it as far as names go, though.

 

[mad825]

I've name my computer 'CYBERGEEK' because of the hardware specs it has and my mobile phone is called Hermes after the greek god.

simply to say all my tech has some cryptic meaning

 

[Danpascooch]

I've recently bought a compound bow (Black Hoyt Alphaburner) and I've decided to name it "Fawkes" as in Guy Fawkes. One of my friends called me an idiot but then I reminded him how he calls his motorbike "Tobias".

Ok that's it, I never saw someone on the Escapist for over a year that had the same avatar as me. Now within 24 hours I see TWO

I think I'm going to have to switch

 

[Thimblefoot]

I named the screwdriver i use "Faithful Companion", just seemed to fit considering how much i use it. Oh, and i named my copy of Oblivion "Stevie".

 

[wooty]

I do sometimes, I've named my PC "piece of shit", my phone is "dead weight". But I named my paintball gun Helen after my girlfriend, because like her it takes up space and is a pain in the arse at times.
