My Subzero is Artemis( blue and white) and the new Orbea Onis is supposed to be Nepthys( egyptian goddess of perfection, seeing shes a Orbea and carbon, hehe) but I have a feeling 'she'is a 'he'.
I dont call them by their names though, they are just 'the bike'.
I tend to name animals badly as well - being 'kitty' , puppy', 'bunny' and then nickname them( the rabbit was memorably - 'snuggle puff'!
)
I tried naming my cars but that didnt work either.
However, the bike has a name that IS hers.
When I told BF, he said he thought of his bike as his 'mistress' - always needing little presents, to be taken out etc - he renamed her 'Ishtar' ( we both study mythology)but he just refers to her, as the 'bke'.
