Does anyone else name their guns?

[Steph]

(searched for any similar threads...didn't see anything)

Last year my bf was telling me that he and his friends decided to come up with names for their guns so that they could talk about them discretely with other people around. Oddly enough, at the *same* time we both came up with 'Guinevere' for his Glock 35. A friend of his has an M&P9 that he calls 'Mary Poppins.'

Before I had even figured out which pistol I was going to get, I had decided on 'Winona' for it (Farscape fans anyone?). I have a Ruger SR22 in jail that I'm leaning towards 'Raven.'

It may yet be a while before I'm able to get an AR, but I think I'll go with 'Gladius' (FF XIII).

Does anyone else give names to their guns? How did you come up with the name?

Eh, I don't own many of the same make - so when I say Glock or Ruger there's only one. However, I do call my 7-shot prelock 686, "Lucky" as a nickname.

My W. German made Sig 226 is named "Brunhilda".

My Israeli made IMI Baby Eagle is named "Ziva".

Peukert and Marston (45ACP and 5.56 NATO respectively). What a verbose, sounds like a law firm
