Inanimate things. Lemme explain.

So, I got a new bicycle beginning of the week. I've been on a health kick (Being mildly overweight my whole life, I decided last November to change things) recently, so I thought "Ya know, I don't live too far from where I work. If I bike to work every day, I can get some good excercise." So, I go to Wal-Mart to buy a bike, and find a nice 100 dollar job. So, I buy it and love it. She's a nice black and orange, so I name her Charlotte after Charlotte from Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica.

What I suppose the point of this post is, am I the only one who names inanimate objects? If not, what things do you have named, and why? What significance do they have?

Also, I named my Lappy Erizen after my WoW Warrior (Before I quit), because my computer, like Erizen, was never the best for what I wanted her for, but she worked.

It's not something I do myself but I know others who do that and never really thought twice about it.  Someone here at work named the paper shredder Crunch Bird.

I am certain some people actually would give names to inanimate objects. Like in one of my hobbies, I do actually give names to some what I had collect and own.. But then again, it's really normal for that hobby, in a sense.

I also do name my car and name it 'Kuro' and refer it as 'her'.

my car is "Baby" or my "The Beast" depending on how much $$ I got to put into it

Only if I don't like them.  Then they get called names like "dammit" and "you suck" and "you're trash."
Youth, exuberance, and enthusiasm are no match for age, experience, and treachery.

Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms.  Should be a convenience store, not a federal agency.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse.... A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Heh.. Shooter, you remind me. I refer to myself as "Idiot!".. at least once per day. Usually quite a bit more.

I called the trash can buttmunch today because it rolled down the street.

My phone name is Re-Re........... -_- And I believe that's why it doesn't work, it doesn't like its pet name.

Ohhh yeah.. dead things still count as animated objects. What about when I take extended leave underground? Huh? What then, lovely Kaz? :Þ
