I have a habit of naming things close to me. This guitar is Freddy. I finally got a guitar with a decent tone because heck, they started making a cheap one in China. I know, I know, it's Unamerican. But what can ya do?
Anyway, do you name cars, musical instruments, various objects you know and love?

@CinnamonGrl Oh shoot lol I forgot to write about that part of the post. I am only half awake here at mylot right now drinking my coffee. There are times I have named my objects but not often. My parents had a old white truck that they named Casper and put the name Casper on the side in pink letters. I can't think of any off the top of my head that I have named but I know that I have named things!

For cars, we had the Bomb, the Silver Streak, The War Wagon, Granny Putt-Putt among others. I named the vacuum cleaner at work Matilda. I keep telling her to Waltz with me, Matilda, but she just tips over and dumps the utensils. I call my computer the Crunch Machine and sometimes other names that are not nice.

A very interesting habit of yours indeed. Well I do not give names to any intimate object of mine. But yes, I do give names to certain things that happen to catch my attention or say, when I feel like toying around a bit. Like the other day, I came across a spider carrying an egg and I started calling her Mother Spidey. ![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)

@CinnamonGrl Haha I'd have called her that too most likely but for some reason I felt bad for that poor thing; carrying the egg around all alone. Curse the daddy spider-such a male chauvinist I tell you! ![](/Content/images/emotes/glare.gif)

I don't do it myself but I know many people who do. I think it is fun and interesting. So how long have you been playing the guitar for?
