Has anybody here ever given a name to an inanimate object?

For example I call my trust SCAR-H on MW2, Oliver.

Is anyone else like this or have I just gone mad?

Well, I call my SCAR in R6V2 "teh PwNeR". It's pretty much the only gun I use in that game.

I've got a statue of a bear that I call Alfie.

Heh. I was honestly going to make exactly this thread like 3 days ago when I got a new 1TB HDD and spent a good while thinking up a name for her.
Anyway yes, all my HDDs have names. So do my work knives.

When I was younger I won a coconut at my school fair, the coconut looked like a face... somehow and I kept it in my room for 2 years and named it Snubbles.
Note: I was like, 8 years old...

Looking back on it anybody would've thought I was mental.

I need to get a label maker and start giving name tags to all my shit...

do corpses count as inanimate objects?

if so, i name every insect corpse i see. the most common name i give them is Norman.

I named my tuba Calvin since there's a picture of the boy from Calvin and Hobbes in the case. =]

Sure I do all the time. Especially my Space Marines (you gotta have a named leader XD)

i named my car Katie. i figure that anything that serves me as well as Katie derseves a name

I called my laptop lappy. Creative I know.

I name my hats and my 360 Controllers. My Beanie hat is called Terrance, my baseball cap is called Enoch and my controller is called Jeremy, his brother is called Thomas...and I have no idea why.

I name pretty much everything, breathing or no, Mr Man.

I love you, Leprosy Chip.

I call my Xbox 'Useless Bastarrd'. Apart from that, nothing. Oh yes, at school, I've named a lamppost Terry, and three signs Mark, James and Stoner.

Oyea of course! I named my leader and gave each squad cool sounding titles. I never remembered them though.

I've named my last two cars. One was called Rosco and the other is called The Mule. My pot plant on my window sill is Alfonse the Aloe Vera. I also named my walking boots Mega Boot and Deth Boot.

I had a car called Edrick, when i got it I wanted to name it Ed and my sister wanted to name it Rick so we comprised.

My computer's name is Alice. She's good to me and I'm good to her. I sometimes bitch at her when she doesn't run quite as quickly as I want her to, but I keep her as up-to-date as I can.

My PS2 came with a name, Wesker. Don't ask, I don't know. I'd assume it has something to do with Resident Evil.

The A.I. I'm trying to code is going to be named Helena.

So yes, I name inanimate objects. I also talk to myself. Am I crazy? Possibly. But I'm not yet insane. ^_^

Those aren't even real inanimate objects...

You two are definitely weird.

Weird.. i call my 50.call "Baby" lol
But yes, i do, alot. I called my psp Otis the first day i got it (inspired by escape from monkey island)

Yep, and see? A bunch of people do that, so it's not weird in the slightest

Of course, I refer to the first shotgun I get in any shooting game as 'My Bitch'.

Other examples are as follows:

I call a wooden training sword I own 'my happy stick' (cookie for the reference).
My leather jacket is refered to as 'the coat of office'.
I named my guitar 'the Relic' (no real reason, it just sounded very heavy metal).

It's a Relic of Rock. Very Jack-Black-esque... I approve :D

"This is my favourite gun. I call her Vera..."

Bloody hell, I seem to have become obsessed in the last few minutes with quoting cool stuff. Anyway, I don't give objects names or anything, but I've heard of some funny ones before. Does Henry the Hoover count if it's an actual branded Henry Hoover? We had one in our flat last year and another in our house now...

My faithful F2000 called wanda. She makes me happy with all the blood spurting.
What?! Don't look at me like that. Your'e no better than me.

I called mine Clank because Secret Agent Clank was the first game I got for it.

all the time. my external hd's are Mr T and Chuck Norris.

Do stuffed animals count? Teddy-bears? If so, yes.

I had a toy cat called Kat. (Dutch for Cat, or something.)
I had a toy penguin called PuGu (No idea.)

I used to have a name for each of the plants and pieces of furniture in my garden.
So yes, I have done.
Don't judge me...

I name all of my (well, most of my) stuffed animals.

I also name my iPods. My last one was Tim, and my current one is Vandesdelca.

I keep meaning to name my Gamecube, my TV, my computer, my cellphone, and my DS, but I can't really come up with anything good.

I call my Cthulhu plushie backpack Mr. Snuggles.

Sorry...

You blow into Calvin?

Well, I call my teddy bear Oscar.

No, people always name their cars which I never understand.
