I used to have a hamster named Eric, thanks to a Monty Python skit. Imagine
my surprise a couple of weeks later when Eric gave birth!

I don't name inanimate objects, particularly cars. My sisters and I have a
running debate on this, but since I now own the car that was most heavily
involved, it's not as much of an issue anymore.

Hmm . . . well, the only inanimate objects I've named have been
weapons. There's my rapier Sky.
And in wishful thinking into the future, a name for a first born
daughter: Johanna Fjotra Arnesen.

My cats are Murphy and Guinness.
Future children? Hmmm . .well, when I was with Gary, we had settled on Norah
for a girl and Owen for a boy. Not quite sure now.

My last few cars:
Wakanda - Lakota for "spirit power", because we have no word for "high
octane". Ford Mustang.
Elektra - Dodge Avenger.
Cerridwen - Ford F-150.

I don't name cars unless they show enough personality that a name just
seems natural.
I do name computers. My scheme is generally to name them after birds.
Currently I have condor, osprey, and seagull...at one time I had more,
but I sold most of them before my last move.

I named my first computer "Myrddin Emrys" after the Merlin character
in "The Crystal Cave" series. After that I named them after my
Dungeons and Dragons characters from my college days, until I quit
naming them at all.

The only inanimate objects I name regularly are computers, and them only
because names are needed for networking. I'm working through the Hebrides.
(The first work computer I could claim as my own had been named "skye",
I thought for the Isle. Only later did I remember that it's previous
owner's name was "S. Kye". I've stuck with the pattern, nonetheless.)
Right now, I'm using islay (an NT box), coll (Solaris 2.6) and eigg
(MacOS X). I've not turned on rhum (Win2K) but once or twice; someday
I should set aside some time to bring it up. My PowerBook 3400 was tiree.

resp:13 sorry hon, it was decided a long time ago. Long before the
pregnancy happened.
"Sarah Lynn" just seemed and felt right, as if the kid picked it
herself. Of course, it will be strange if this child turns out to be
a boy, but, anyway, yeah, sure, the second girl can be Carrie Adena.

The cat is Sasha Allen Fogg Perry (when she's in trouble, she's usually
Sasha, Sashi or some other derivation).
First car (1990 Cutlass Supreme) was Myka (short form of MY CAr with a
K)
Second Car (1999 Olds Alero) is Mojo, named thus by my older brother.
Said brother now drives one of the new super-cool looking/WAY bright
blue/way too much fun to drive Subaru named Rodan.

My cats are Percy Bysshe Shelley (usually just Shelley, but sometimes I call
him Peebs), Noel (she was found on Xmas), and Daniel (the song popped into
my head while we were trying to coax him into the cat carrier, he was also
a stray).

Back in my music geek days, I had a synth keyboard named Rosencrantz and a
sampler named Guildenstern. Anyone who names audio electronics after
Shakespearean characters needs help, is what I'm thinking. Guildenstern bit
the dust a few years ago. I'd have sold Rosencrantz, but he's got a few
sticky keys and isn't really worth much anymore.
My computer's name is Oberon. It was Titania for a while, but it kept
crashing. One time, when I was reinstalling everything again, I named the
hard disk Oberon instead, and it worked better. Gender issues.
The mandolin's name is Kay. It's not really that creative -- she's a Kentucky
brand mandolin.
