anybody name there guns and why

I don't name my guns, but when I pull out my hex receiver 91/30 at the range
I'll say (Like the old Avon commercial) Ding-Dong!.....Boris calling!

I'll start naming my guns when they start coming to me when i call. Although from that POV maybe my dog shouldn't have a name either.
 
Thing One and Thing Two.
That's what I call my kids.
My truck is nickynamed BB as the gal before me named stinky Big Bertha.
Now me firearms were named already when I bought them.
 
I call my 375 Ruger "The KING" for obvious reasons, because it is the NEW KING of the .375 caliber cartridges. Other than that I usually call them by their manufacturer and chambering names.
 
Nice wood.... I've got a swastika marked K98 that acquired a 308 match barrel at some point in it's life. It had a damaged crown so it was cut down to a bull barrel and we squeezed it into a wood sporter stock with the aid of a helluva pile of sandpaper and glass bedding. It turned out to be quite accurate and was my go to deer rifle for four or five years. Unfortunately it came in somewhere close to 10 lbs, earning it the nickname 'The Fencepost'.
 
I don't have any overlapping calibers so I affectionately call it by it's designated chambering.

Hunny grab the .17 or I'll be blasting the 12g... Beautiful elk pass me my 30 ought 6.

Perhaps when I aquire more then a dozen guns I might name them... Probably not though.
"I need the Model70 now" everyone around me knows what that means.

If I ever double up a caliber it will be for a custom rifle or something like a Steyr Mannlicher.... Even then it will probably be called what it is.
A gun is a finely crafted tool. I try not to anthropomorphizes them.
