    Whenever I get a new bike I let my daughters name it. It's silly and everybody enjoys the process.

    Old crappy Giant: Giant
    Old LeMond road bike: Rainbow (it has a rainbow on the down tube)
    Kestrel Telon: Gwinnie (It's black and white, like a pen"guin")
    Bianchi Volpe: Chino (It's Italian, and tan, like a cappuccino)

    All in all, I think they did a pretty good job.

    No, no, a thousand times no. Don't get me wrong, I love my bikes, but they're bikes, they have no soul. Would you name your vacuum or your leaf blower?

    I wouldn't say they have names but when I refer to them individually, they are:

    The Roadie
    The City/Night Bike
    Salsa
    The Mountain
    My Single

    This is what I call mine, they don't have "names":
    SS
    Epic
    Trek
    The Road Bike

    I also call all my MTBs "You lousy piece of s**t" when I hit the ground or a tree.

    I also name my bikes.

    I have a Giant Dash 3 that has yellow on it so it is called Bird after Big Bird.
    I just got a new road bike that as of yet has not been named. It has been called a few choice words as I am still getting used to it.

    I have had my Gary Fisher Montare 29er for years and no name ever just spoke to me! I recently bought a Specialized tarmac SL4 and after about the first ride I named it Twitch. My girlfriend calls it (and me) Blur... I also have a Cannondale cruiser that I call Pedals.

    It's a Lexa so I'm going to call it Lexie. I've had it all of 24 hours :happy:
