Have any of you (for whatever reason) ever given a name to something other than a person/pet? If you did, this is the place to post it.

When I was about five, we had a red shop vacuum that I would always call Fred for some reason. We still have it, and everyone in the family still refers to it as Fred. I guess it's a lot shorter than calling it "the vacuum," though. My grandpa also had an old green vacuum that I used to call Queenie when I was about the same age. Don't ask . He still has that too and, guess what, me and him both still call it Queenie without really thinking about it. Finally, my grandpa also has an old 1980 Dodge Ram that I used to call Old Red. It would have been mine, too, if I hadn't wanted my Bug instead. We both still call it that, too.
