I don't think I've given anything of mine a name. Only "my this" or "my that". But whatever.

i would call my old student horn "you piece of....'crap'" everytime the valves would stick. but that's about it. i had a fish one time who's name was "jaws". it would actually eat the other fish in the fish tank.
