Thought I would respond...after seeing this topic bumped up at times..

No, my bikes are nameless. In a lazy way, was thinking what would I name my regularily-used bike, which is silver.. Silver Dolphin? Certainly not Silver Bullet..cause I'm not fast on the bike!

Then I probably would forget to use the name..I'm kinda like that...best I start off a habit at the beginning, especially for something intuitive as nicknaming a person or thing. I had real problems using a nickname for a good friend when she decided to use it for herself after I knew her for first 5 years of our friendship under her full first name.

I've never named a toy, doll even as a child. So maybe that's why my bikes are anonymous.
