Have you named your Light?

I’ve never thought about naming. Sounds not bad, though.
I used to own 4 cats, a mother and her 3 childs. They were with me for 4-5 years but I never named them! I feel like I’m the one who lacks some sense. lol

Never named my lights.
My bikes, however
There was Robert :

Then Huguette :

And now Georgette :

We tend to name some important things with my wife, it’s a sort of tradition
Our cooking robot (a Thermomix) is named Alfred, like Bruce Wayne’s butler.
All of our pets have names, of course (1 mouse, 3 cats, 3 chickens, 1 dog and 1 python) : Stuart, Onion, Bahia, Io, Marceline, Ernestine, Firmin, Leonard and Knacki
My wife’s car is named Marie
Even our son has a name ! :partying_face: Valentin !

You’re not a weirdo

Seek professional help ...

I asked my D4 and he said "We no need no stinkin names " I didn't know his name was Pedro until just now . Seems not only are many of my lights clones . A lot of them are also illegal aliens .

Quite a while ago I showed my Thrunite TN32 to a very dear office colleague.
When I got myself (yet) another light, I told her and casually referred to The Big Guy she had seen before.
Knowing what I was talking about, she smiled and kept on working.

But a few I-want-it-just-because-I-am-a-woman co-workers became very agitated.
And tried to persuade her to file a #metoo complaint against me based on lewd behavior.
And if she was too afraid for that, they were happy to do it for her in the name of justice and womankind!
But my colleague almost wet herself laughing and told the gnomes to go somewhere else.

From that moment on I will NEVER again use a name for one of my lights, or any other non-living object.

I call my Emisar D4 (short 18350 battery tube) the “Noisy Cricket” in reference to Men In Black.

Everyone I show the light to agrees the name is quite fitting for how powerful, yet tiny it is.

I have to name all my flashlights because they are built from scratch and come with no name

sp5it · 2018-07-16T20:39:17.000Z

No, I’m sane.

Well, I’m insane …

I just named my lights George, George, George, George, and George.

Henk4U2 · 2018-07-16T22:13:58.000Z

I guess that leaves your Manker Boney with the name: George W.

Aleister · 2018-07-16T22:49:08.000Z

Sooo, even more craziness for flashlights is possible or, shall I say, probable…

klrman · 2018-07-17T01:17:08.000Z

Named my biggest light with a Greek word starting with "M" but won't go into details

Lightbringer · 2018-07-17T01:42:08.000Z

Moussaka?

klrman · 2018-07-17T01:56:18.000Z

haha, no, but moussaka is a very nice dish.

It’s a very common name in Greece, we use it all the time, especially while driving

Henk4U2 · 2018-07-17T08:23:08.000Z

Do you mean M4L4K4?

DENGOH · 2018-07-17T08:53:26.000Z

I follow the name given by manufacturer. A bit tough when I have multiple units of similar models. But should be easier to think of names for them.
