Does anyone else name their consoles?

[pompeyparsons]

People often give their cars, etc names. Are there any others besides me that name their consoles?

So far I've only given my permanent Sega Genesis the name Jenny (Original, I know.)

I find that a bit creepy, kinda reminds me of full metal jacket

duuude, im sorry but isnt that somewhat obsessive?

[dudex77]

I name pipes but other than that naming inaminate objects is really creepy. An atachment to something like a car you worked hard to get or a boat that you've had or are planning on having for ages is acceptable but a hunk of plastic is weird. It's like actually referring to your computer as the name you've given it.

No, I never really thought of that... and no, there is nothing wrong with naming your systems.

Don't listen to these guys.

Here are some of my names for the more modern systems I have owned.

Gaystation
BS2
Gaycube
Xbotch

Well, Jenny isn't too odd. I mean, Jenny's pretty close to Genny, which is short for Genesis. I omit the word "the" that most people say before the name of a console, so I suppose that I just call my consoles by their actual names. For instance, most people would say, "I own a Dreamcast." I'd say, "I own Dreamcast."

I should probably name my Dreamcasts, though, because I have seven. I really wouldn't know where to start, though. Besides, I can't really find myself saying, "Sure, let me turn Michael on so we can have some fun!"

I guess if you love something that much, then giving it a name or referring to it as "she" or "my baby" isn't too weird. Unfortunately, I don't love my systems that much to give it a personal name.

[Mozgus]

Eh, game consoles come home with names already attached. Custom built PCs do not, so they do need names. Cars have makes and models, but perhaps naming is warranted considering how much money and time goes into some.

I usually just call them "DAMMIT!!!"
Especailly the NES when I'm playing some Ninja Gaiden.
