I have been known to call my Bob Jackson steel road bike "Bob". Its name is written in several places on the bike, so I cannot quite picture changing it.

We have been close enough in the past that first names were appropriate, but it has been a while. So i may be referring to it as "Jackson" until we spend some more time together.

I have also been known to call it "the blue bike", to distinguish it from my green/purple fade Trek hybrid, which doesn't seem to have a real name.
