I name all of my guns,,,
It's an American tradition.
If Davy Crockett can name his rifle Ole Betsy,,,
I can name my guns as well.
Smallest to largest:
Lilith, Morgana, Bridget, Jezebel,,,
All "Witchy" women of one sort or another.
My modern dueling pistols,,,
Veritas and Equitas.
The Andrews Sisters (Showing my age here)
Some say it's silly to anthropomorphize my guns,,,
I just think it's fun.

I'm not in the habit of naming objects. Aside from a short description such as "that piece of junk" on occasion, or an old car "the rattletrap" or "Ol' Tetanus". It was a 1988 Mercury Cougar. I got it in 2014. It was brown when it was new and only got worse.
I think, in general, it's a silly thing.
That said, my Mosin Nagant is Ivan.
Because there are millions of them and according to knowledge of the time, they're all Ivan.
I'm not going to rag on someone that names one as a joke instead of being serious. I am, by its definition, a millennial, and accept ironic humor.

For many years my "thing" was to collect identical or near identical rimfire/centerfire pairs of handguns.
I have eleven such matching pairs.
This is Didi and Stella,,,
Didi is a Model 18 in .22 LR (22 => Double-Deuce => D-D => Didi)
Stella is a pristine Model 15 in .38 special (The Star of my revolver collection => Stella)
This is Velda and Velma,,,
Film Noir tough girls.
Velda is a Model 36 in .38 Special (Velda was Mike Hammer's secretary)

If this is a Gen 1-3, you need to put on this:
https://www.ndzperformance.com/glock-beavertail-upgrade-kit-grip-force-gen-1-3-p/grf-g3-blk.htm
If it’s a Gen 4, PM me and I’ll send you a Glock OEM beaver tail grip for nothing.
Thank you for the offer!
I don't shoot Glocks very often. I don't actually own one anymore, or I'd take you up on that.
This one is Ol' Belcher. It spits fire, smoke, and lead.
Here's a story about Belcher and me...

I can't think of any guns I'd officially named if they worked correctly. Those that didn't were named with very creative combinations of expletives and adjectives. Sometimes the expletives were adjectives.

I Don’t name boats (Owned 4) vehicles (owned (13) or guns (owned lots). If it don’t come when I call, I see no use naming it .
I have no problem with folks naming them, though. Sorta personalizes them
.
Stay safe.

Ah yes. Hammer bite. Meaty hands. With two of my guns I final took to sticking a Bandaid™ over the web of that thumb before firing it at the range.
In case of a "severe bodily harm" incident (G-d forbid), I don't think something kike that would even be noticed until the cops arrived.
Kind of interesting that the lady wanted a video of multiple mag dumps. I'm curious why. If the answer will run off-topic, please PM me.

I mentioned before that I thought the phenomenon itself was interesting. On speculatin' and introspectin' I decided it forms a kind of "partnership" with the object, as "occult" or "primitive" as that may sound --at least for some people.
As a practical, mundane, "two-way give-and-take partnership," of course, this makes no sense.
But it seems to be valid in one direction --you to the object --at some primitive level, at any rate. At least for some folks, not for others.

That ones slide bite. The serration on the aftermarket slides lay the top of my right thumb my knuckle open. Regular Glock slides usually just leave a red mark.
My hi-power bites the web if my hand, and I bleed all over it every time I take it to the range.
That ones got a few names too......
Other than cussing at a firearm or two over the years I generally don't speak to them and so, they aren't named. As Riomouse911 stated, if they don't respond to me calling them. They aren't named.
Hell, I don't even have names for the chickens!
