Naming Your Machines Warning - Silly topic. Sense of humor required.
DoggyGirl Intermediate TX USA Member since 10/15/06 Posts: 1248	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/7/10 10:29 PM Okay. Although I'm nowhere near as bad as LynnRowe, when it comes to my sewing machines I feel a real need to name them. Of my horde of 10 machines, this is what's come up so far: The pinky cream Rocketeer - Piglin' The elegant and dignified Singer Red Eye - Miss Fairchild The ever-so-hip Domestic - Tabatha The New Home Delux NLC - he keeps telling me his name is Clyde (I honestly don't know where that came from...). I might persuade him to change it, but he's pretty adament. The Emdeko and Kenmore 158 are being snooty right now and refuse to tell me what their names are. I'll wear them down, force it out of them, and report back. Oh, and my lovely Admiral. I think she's calling herself Renren (she's got this whole elvish thing going on....) The serger, Elna, and Touch & Sew think this is all nonsense and refuse to have anything to do with it. Beth -- Edited on 10/7/10 10:55 PM --

They're creative and so ... thought-invoking (does that make sense? I'm so not eloquent tonight)!! Only 2 of mine have "names" ~ and even then, I stole one of the name's from TGM's sister's machine's name ~ "Roxy" the Rocketeer. (Trust me, she IS a Roxy ... the only other name that would have worked would have been "Rosie" after "Rosie the Riveter" 'cause she's so ... tough and strong) My Kenmore's named ... Kenny. Real imagination there, huh? What inspired you guys to name them like that? I mean, yannow, names that aren't boring?! ------ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Connie in Panama City Beach, Florida :) "And these children that you spit on, as they try to change their worlds, are immune to your consultations.

The 201 - my grande dame - Penelope The Janome is just a regular guy - Joey Janome The serger fancies himself quite the playboy, with his array of threads - Sergio The FW 222 pretends to be a snooty fellow - he has special talents & he KNOWS it, but at heart he's really a softy - Stirling, after his birthplace in Scotland The 221 - the party girl - Maxine (she prefers Maxie) The other 221 hid behind the name Sophie until she had her full spa treatment, and the beautiful Sophia emerged The 15-91 is Ruby, after her first owner The asexual 301 is Santana - still waiting for his/her new paint The T&S & the two 66's refuse to tell me their names until I give them some special attention & a better welcome into the fold. They think they're being ignored. Sadly, they're pretty much right Oh, & then of course there's Raggy G - cannot forget him! He sits, he serves, he offers up parts - a mere shell of his former self, but he will always deserve a name -- Edited on 10/7/10 10:46 PM -- ------ http://jillybejoyful.blogspot.com/ a blog about creativity, sewing, vintage sewing machines, and...... life :)

How could I not name those that prepare my meals LOL. I love my "Baldy" (he has a chrome dome) and he was my first. My other KA is ice blue and poor thing has no name. Being the icey one, I know it's a she. Both are hard workers, and work well with their attachments.

My 20U shall be known as Madonna. She's beautiful, has some muscle, tons of longevity, and she can be a bit of a diva at times. Plus, she's got the whole peroxide blonde thing going on. I think it's decided. -- Edited on 10/7/10 11:38 PM --
