I name everything that I can have a strong reaction to. So appliances that annoy me or machines that make me happy. All my computer and photo gear has cartographical names (Atlas, Maps, Legend, etc.).
As for my bikes I have Mary, Queen of Scots (an emerald green and gold pinstripes Motobecane Nobly) and Spooky. I had a dream that I had an orange bike with black accessories and it was the spooky bike. So when I got my Cross Check I reversed the colors for the black frame and it became my Spooky.

No I don't name them. Would like convince myself that I would...but it never occurred to me. Have been cycling for a long time now.
Maybe it's because I never had a doll or toy to give a name long ago as a kid. Dunno.My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.
