If AKC people can give their Dogs ridiculous names like: Crosswood Alexsea Sky’s the Limit, then naming a pipe is not so odd. I just call my pipes by their shape name, except my cavalier, which I call "sirdar" because that was the catalogue name of the BBB cavalier I lost ?
 
Me standing in the backyard calling through all of my kid's names to get one that actually sticks to the kid that I'm calling. I haver over 100 pipes, so I know I am not about to remember a name for each of them. Besides, I relied on a reaction from the child to know whether I hit the right name or not, and pipes are stupid dumb at remembering their names as well.

I had a hard enough time naming my kids.

It's really not that tough. Do what I did and copy the Balinese system where names reflect birth order. Assuming you're sober enough to remember how many kids you've had naming becomes pretty easy.
