I never saw the point in naming inanimate or non-anthropomorphic objects. Instruments, cars, whatever. They don't come to you when you call out to it. They're not like a pet or anything like that, so what's the use?
The names of mine are
Saprano= Li'i Mele ( small song )
Kala Tenor= Kai kua'ana ( older brother )
Tenor= Hana Lima Ia ( Made by Hand )
Can't remember if the second one needs spaces in the word, but o well.
and, yes yes, I know that they aren't female names, but so what, these names just fit.
Since mine is a mango Fluke, it goes by the name of "Mange" in front of people, and "Mangy" when it's just the two of us.
But perhaps it s just in need of a good rub with a microfiber cloth.
The soprano in my contest video is named "Bub" since it is constructed out of bubinga wood. Ugly little bugger.
The only instrument I've owned that I named was an early 70's Fender Stratocaster. I named her "Honey" after a strippe.. I mean, an exotic dancer, I met. The name was fitting for both of them.
I'm afraid I'm with misterlee on this one. Don't see the point. I do find it fascintating though that so many other people do. Maybe I should try it though. Maybe that's why I can't play like Aldrine......... cause I haven't named my ukes yet........................yeah that's it..........
shaniqua....... nah im kiding, her name is Isabelle.... nah, I dont like that......
uhhhhhhh, what the heck, how about Robert, there we go, his name is Robert.
