"icky cat"!<br />I don't generally name things except I did buy a Gund teddy bear as an adult because I always wanted one as a kid.&nbsp; He is special and named&nbsp;after Thelonious Monk.&nbsp; my Dad built me a rocking horse and his name is "Horse with no name".<br />A friend named my car for me and it stuck. "Madi Mobile" after our dog. Sadly no longer have the dog and car is gone too.</p> <p>Here is Thelonious, Horse with no name, and Madi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-name/page/2#post-991322 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 17:59:59 +0000 rebekahphoto 991322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>dont think I ever named a bag...I do like to name rooms, one bathroom is the "museum bathroom" for its decor &amp; collection of oddities....</p> <p>the MR did name a casual, post-beach, lounge only navy knit dress I wore on our honeymoon the "TARA dress" (for Tara Reid) because its loose V neck occasionally would slide around and show side boob...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-name/page/2#post-991208 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 15:48:48 +0000 ManidipaM 991208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soft toys sometimes and ditto lego people.

I even named my stuffed animals "Teddy" and "Polar bear" (and so on) when I was little. Only my dolls got real names. Oh and in our family every bathroom cabinet (those hanging ones with a mirror) is called "Alibert". It was the brand of the one my grandparents had when my mum was a child and my Opa had a habit of naming things. Now I always say Alibert, no matter what - I've gotten some strange looks for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-name/page/2#post-990955 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 10:10:35 +0000 lyn67 990955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, we liked to name some of our fabbers worthy bags, as Claire's Monthy/Rosie, then GP's MsScarlet. But I guess that's all for fun and for easier refference, you know.<br />Thus, I usually name my cars, too. My actual car is "Le RoY"- as has the&nbsp;LRY letters in (like Diane said)-&nbsp;it's also black and&nbsp;my biggest car to date-so it deserves the name, I think:-). Just for&nbsp;your &nbsp;refference, my previous car was "Hope" as had HOF in it's number(in German language "hope" stats with these letters), my Hubby's previous was&nbsp; "Just good" as had the beginning letters of that in hungarian in it....also we had them in our somehow corelated (with their names) stages of our life,too... if that makes sense...:-) </p> <p>Oh, and we name our pets, of course: Daisy, Becky, Milo, Effy, and so...:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-name/page/2#post-990946 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 09:50:18 +0000 Anonymous 990946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't name any items of clothing at all. My car is called Kevin because the first two letters are KV.

Computer science people tend to name their computers, and it actually serves a useful purpose when you get into networking and ssh connection sockets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-name#post-990871 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 04:21:41 +0000 rachylou 990871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thought I'd come back and mention every item of equipment in the bakery is named "Bob."

The SO and I do have descriptive titles for some clothing, but not in the way you'd name a pet or a person. His fleece PJ pants with penguins on them are "penguin pants" and have a cult following, his grey Patagonia fleece is his "fuzzy", and my "fuzzy" is a minky fabric blanket that lives on the couch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-name#post-990717 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 00:34:31 +0000 lyn* 990717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel that they have personality, but not necessarily a name. :)</p> <p>My CRV is named Sir V (for obvious reasons). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-name#post-990713 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 00:30:52 +0000 Hil 990713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't say I've named my clothes, no. </p> <p>The rooms in my house though... A few years ago we bought a really large home with 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The kids were 6 and 4 at the time and named some of the rooms, sort of. We kept our cats in one of the empty bedrooms downstairs to acclimatize and that became the Cat's Room. The bathroom-en-suite is the Cat's Bathroom. The main bathroom downstairs is The Cocoon Bathroom, because it has a big oval bath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-name#post-990687 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 00:13:20 +0000 Anonymous 990687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope, only animate objects get names in this house (apart from servers and tech devices).
