No. I don't name any of my other tools either. I don't have anything against anyone that does, I think it's kinda neat but I just never felt the need to name guns, cars, knives, etc.
I will admit if I had a Mosin I'd probably be tempted to give is a Russian nickname. I keep thinking of Russian middle names to give my fiance's siberian husky.

Well, yeah, my wife and I do.
CCW Kel-Tec P-11 is "Barkey"
12 Ga S x S Coach shotgun is "Boomer"
9 MM Derringer is "Derrin"
Wife's Ruger .357 is "Miss Pearl" (Mother of Pearl grips)
Wife's Ruger Mark III is "Rosie" (Rosewood Grips)
New Ruger LCP still in layaway is "Elsie" (I understand "Elsie Pea" is a common name)

Only one of my guns has a name.
I bought my SKS-M and a whole bunch of hi-cap mags about two weeks right before the Obama v. McCain election once it became clear that Obama was going to win it.
I named the SKS "Barry" as a backhanded honor to our president.

"Betsy." My Grandad called everything that name. His gun, truck, tractor, all 50 head of cattle when individually dealt with. So now when I carry a CCW, I strap on ole' "Betsy." When I deer hunt, I grab ole "Betsy" and go to the woods. Pawpaw is still living at the moment, a Veteran, and I live far away. Everytime I use the name "Betsy", I can't help but think of him.
Just one. My 1942 M1 is "The Veteran". I wish I knew its stories.

Only one of my guns has a name. My wife gave my M1 a name....Mr. Gerrard.
I had a manila envelope with M1 Garand written on it. She handed it to me and asked, "who is Mr. Gerrard"?
I had questions, too.

Don't really give my guns names, but sometimes when my grandfather & I refer to guns each other owns, names form automatically.
My 1873 Winchester is often called the "Gran-Daddy" because it is the grandfather of my collection and most valueble.
Papa also owns a Judge, which you can guess, is referred to as the Judge.

I have names for my favorite guns. They are all female names. Most are named after fictional characters I like.

They're machines to me. Albeit important machines that I do have something of an emotional connection to, but I do not name them. I have nothing against someone who does, but I do not. I also do not refer to my guns, cars, etc as "him" or "her."

I don't name things that will not come when called, well except for cats.

I named my Model 70 300WSM, "The Long Talker", cause he talks from a long ways away.
Don't have names for any of my other rifles.

Generally, I don't give inanimate objects names. If it malfunctions, I might call it names (You 
!!!).

Sure I do!
I call my Smith & Wesson; "Smith & Wesson"...my Walther; "Walther", etc etc etc etc etc.
The only exception to this is a 'Bauer Automatic' I own that is named "Shauna".... (I got it cheap because someone had engraved their girlfriend's name on it).

I'm sorry, but if I were at the range and the guy next to me was cuddling up to his gun and calling it "Sweety" or "Honey-Bunch" I think I would pack up and leave.
