NO

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

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.

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

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

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.

ZoomieFan · 2018-07-17T09:17:39.000Z

Big Bertha

hehaw77 · 2018-07-17T17:14:42.000Z
