I have only named my Kimber, and AR. My Kimber is sensative like a female, likes to be pampered and taken out to be shown off, so I named her... Kimberly (How approriate is that?) I've named my AR Jihad...Go figure...
My grandmother has a Taurus .357 revolver she named "Bertha" after the German howitzers from WW I. My grandfather named his rifle "Robert E. Lee" - not sure if it was after the man or the car.
I have yet to be able to come up with a suitable name for my parkerized 9mm semiauto. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. :)

I started this thread for fun, nothing more. But I had entertained the thought of naming my guns. I used to really enjoy the Mike Hammer TV show and think of "Betsy" often. So, considering my two handguns, I'm thinking brother and sister. And because they throw brass and I have to stoop down to pick it up so I can reload, I'm thinking this:
the Sig P220 Compact - Ben Dover
the NAA 380 - Eileen Dover
I know a man by the name of Mel;
he can't see but he sure do smell.

.....two of mine got named by me and a shooting buddy. The Mossberg 500 got "the *****" 'cuz it handles the dirty work. The loaded M1A with 4-12 scope got "ma bell" 'cuz you can reach out and touch someone.
I tell my wife when I carry I call my weapon my "friend"
