What's in a name

[GoKart_MoZart]

Quick question: do any of you give names to your guitars (a la "Lucille")? If so, How? Why? And, most importantly, What are they?

I've never done this, and my #2 son was surprised that I haven't. Honestly, it never occured to me do it.

No, but I've always wanted to for some reason, and I don't actually know why.

My guitar is named "No not the acoustic one, the electric one. No not that one either, it's the one that changes colors! There ya go..."

 

[Bungo]

I've got 'Sharpie', 'Flattie' and according to the rest of the band, 'Much Too Loudie'!

 

[DrBob]

My Axis is called 'The Bone'.

Reason is that my wifes nickname for me is 'Dog' and of course you'll find that a Dog is always gnawing away on his favourite bone.

It's funny how things never seem strange or weird until you try to explain them isn't it ?

I've only named one guitar, and it was soooo ugly I named it Latrine based on the character from Robin Hood Men in Tights.

 

[glockaxis]

Never have. If someone wants to talk about a certain guitar of mine I'll reference them by color: "The blue one," or "The red one," etc..

 

[hugesatchfan]

I named mine Ernie..
Yeah i know not very original but i figure once i get my next ernieball i can call that one bert and then Bert and Ernie can live happily ever after....

 

[Spudmurphy]

Totally unoriginal here too ! My BCB is "My Albert" and I call the other one my "Other Albert"

Because its rough looking and sounds mean as hell, but sounds pretty too.

Still haven't named the silo, I'm working on that. We are still bonding

 

[threeminutesboy]

the only one with a name is my natural ASS her name is Sandy (clik on my signature you will understand why )

After playing my Blue Dawn LE 2007 Lefty Luke for the first time last night, my bandmates are calling it the "Don't spill a drink on this guitar or I'll f*****g kill you." Or, "one scratch and you buy me another one" guitar.

Doesn't have the same ring as "Lucille" ,but very effective.

 

[fogman]

Easy for me.
It's just called Dargie.
Even my 3 year old calls it that.

 

[brasco68]

My Dargie is sometimes referred to as D.D. (Highly unoriginal I know)

 

[phatduckk]

i name my bassea after actresses that i have a crush on. never named a guitar tho

 

[Warg Master]

I name them because I'm a lame-ass! Seriously, I name them and seriously, I'm a lame-ass.


You want to know the names? Maybe later.

[courtjestre]

Really Lame!!!

I have names for all of my guitars: Paige, Schmutz, Project X2N, Nina, and am still trying to think of a name for my new JP (this is my first post on this Forum). I just got it yesterday and am out words to describe it. Simply put, I absolutely love this guitar! How's that for lame?!

 

[JMB27]

my Super Sports are known as The Twins
as for the non-Balls still in the collection ... well, that's for another forum - right?
