Do You Name Your Guns !

[MikedaddyH]

I was wondering if anyone else named their guns?

And why ?

 

I have named the one's that I have grown attached to, The 6.8's are named after my moms ( June , Leda , Anita ,& Mona ) The 308's (Kate ,Katy ,Katerina ) Yes I had two aunt Kathy's. The magnums ( Kasey #5 ,Kyle #18 , Jeff #24 & Donnie my aunt who was a VA nurse and high ranking Mason ). The AR15's are named after other females in my life ( Vera .Lisa etc, )

That is cool to keep those ladies in mind.Lar-8-Ripper,14.5-fastmover.But I will name my Garand Eleanore after my mother-in-law that has passed.Thanks for the idea brother.

I just refer to them by barrel length. This wouldn't work for most of you obviously lol.

My Si build i call "The Mistress" since the other half kept telling me i hold it more then her lol. The other ar 15 was dubded the Black Widow. Now the new RRA have yet to come up with one once i get it all decked out see how she comes out

[arcangel167]

The Punisher (because of the logo on the lower), The Tank (because of all the accessories and how much the friggin' thing weighs), The Intimidator (because of the way it looks) in that order...always seem to end up putting some kind of nickname on them.

Nope. Primarily because i dont have more than one of any platform other than glocks and 1911s. So they are named either by platform or caliber. I KISS.

   To me, a name has to be earned.

   Most of mine are refered to by cal.  as I have few duplicate rifles.  That dosen't help with the AR's, as my wife and I have several of the same cals, as well as several in different cals.

    I guess that you could say that the only gun in my safe that is named is "my old 1911".   Close as I can get to a name.  Bought her new in 1973, and carried her daily for 20+years.

   Naming inanimate objects seems a little wierd ,to me.   What would you name your toaster?  or alarm clock?

 

   My wife just reminded me that she has ONE rifle with a name!  Her Browning lo-wall 22 hornet is called "Thick and Chunky"   because thats all it leaves of prarrie dogs!LOL!!

Several guys here, myself included, have manhandled Ol' Vera. Lol

I used to call my SI-D .308 Elanore (Gone in 60 Seconds) as it seemed like I was ALWAYS building it and never getting close to completion.

[blue109]

My toaster is CHARlie. Its not a very good toaster. My alarm clock has a name but I try not to use that word in polite company.

And the WIN 70 ( Donnester ) Beat the $hit out of your shoulder

[Robocop1051]

Never really been good at naming thing (still trying to come up with a name for my boat after 14 years). Did manage to name my bike fat girl.

Call my 870 that I put together this winter "the house gun" but that's about it

[bubbasks]

My boat is a hand me down from the parents...and its named Sugar Bush.....

Yup, shot that thing ONE time! I'm still bitching at my son for talking me in to it!

[392heminut]

As for naming guns, I don't do it. Hell, I have enough of a problem remembering the grandkids' names!

[sketch]

I have a shotgun named Marcus. Stole it from the Clutch song.

[Magwa]

no names, just refere to them by job they do  ie, house gun, wolf gun etc...

[texas30cal]

Never thought about it but the first one I would name would be my M1a, and it would have to be Charlene!

[seasprite]

Never have but I'm willing to try  :))
