Re: "Do name or not do name..?"
Nope, never seen the point.
Don't name my cars, parts of my body, nearby inanimate objects etc. Always considered those who do harmless but eccentric. Seems too much like the people that stuff their dead pooches and talk to them.....its just a mechanical object, people, and whatever urge you feel to personify it, I don't share that urge.

Don't name them as a matter of course, but I have called them names I can't repeat, when working on them.

My dearly beloved and I pulled into the local farm stand today in her MINI (a.k.a. <span style="font-style: italic">the MINI Skirt</span>) to pick up some fresh veggies.
The girl behind the counter said her neighbor has one and named it <span style="font-style: italic">Winnie Cooper</span>.

Never named the plastic lotus cars, nothing ever came to mind. The tin one got called Tina now-and-again. Others called the Alfas "Luigi", I never gave that much thought.
Diesela got her nomer from 'smits, as omage to Germanic heritage and fuel "difference".
