Naming your Pipes?

[mso489]

If my pipes got named, I suspect I'd do it. However, your wife wanting to name your pipes is too intriguing to dismiss. Whether I used the names or not, I'd still want to know what she would come up with. It would be insight on how she feels about the pipe and maybe more.

My naming obsession centers around cats. I have been known to make lists of sixty or more names when naming one cat. My favorite invention was for a big orange rescue cat who looked like a cougar and was extremely companionable, more like an older brother than a kid.

At the county animal facility with lots of people standing around waiting, when asked if I had a name for the cat, I said Linwood. And when I left, with the carrier and cat in hand, the whole room broke out in chorus saying good bye to Linwood. It caught on. Linwood seemed to like it immediately.

Mark Twain was a big cat man, and he named all his cats negative things like Catastrophe, Misery, Plague, and Abomination. I'm not sure why, for humor I guess. He loved 'em.

All my Peterson pipes are Petes.
All my Savinelli pipes are Nellies.

Let hee have at it, that way she may let you buy more if them, just so they can have friends.

Do your thing dude.

Letting your wife name your pipes is a brilliant way to endear them to her!

Let her go crazy

It's all fun and games until she names that jumbo xl "Dirk Diggler" or calling his Irish pipe "Peter." ?

I barely agree with naming pets

I don't think companion animals think of their names as belonging to them. They just know that is what a specific person or group says when with them, in a friendly way.

On the other hand, they study us intensely, as a food source and a source of companionship, shelter, and safety, so end up knowing more about us than most members of our family.

Sounds a bit like naming screwdrivers and wrenches.

Hey.... “twisty” and “slots” are mighty offended?

Thanks to this thread I might name my zippo “flammenwerfer”.

I refer to my pipes as “Dude”,………dude!

I hate it when our terriorist ....errr....terrier studies me as a food source.

I name them by the tobacco I smoke in them.

I name my kids and dogs. Aside from that, I didn't even come up with a name for my manhood (okay, my girlfriends used to call me Godzilla). I'm sure not going to name pipes.

And Gamera after the act?

Pipes have already been named by the pipemaker. I never understood the need for privately (re)naming objects, wether that’s a car or otherwise. But whatever tickles your pickle, I guess.
