What's the Weirdest Thing You've Ever Named?

Most of you are on Nameberry to find a baby name. Others are looking for either a fictional character or a pet name. (Or are just crazy about names!) But that’s just the beginning of things that could be named.

Which brings us to our question of the week: What’s the weirdest, funniest, most out-there thing you’ve ever named?

We asked our followers on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, and here's what they said:

Body Parts

Had a huge ovarian cyst for 6 months. I was first told it was ‘a big mass’, so I ended up naming it Massimo to make our forced cohabitation feel a bit more cosy. — @giraffozorus

Had a kidney stone that I named Rocky — @jarjarmalfoy

The scar on my index finger is named Marvin. — @chrysadina

A big ball of wax in my son's ear...Waxy — @linneabw

When he was little, my nephew would call his toenail clippings Shailene and Gerald — @kacierehak

Tech

 I’ve had computers named Voldemort and Tyrion. — @wellinformednamer

My robo vac is Murphy (like Robocop). My other vacuum is Storm. — @zoebfm

I have had many wheelchairs since I was about four years old, but I had never named them! In 2019, I got my newest power chair and I gave her a fitting name Rosie, because she is mostly red. — @gotmeghansblog

My Thermomix is called Trevor — @shaesheridan

I tore my ACL in college and had to use a motorized scooter to get to class due to previous back surgery. She was red and speedy, so I named her Lucy after Lucille Ball. — @sw33tch377ypi3

I named our Roomba “Elon Dusk” — @kielersprotte89

Our robot vacuum is named Chuck — @broooooookeeeeeee

Our Roomba is Wimp Lo. — Aléna

Our first car was called Ruby, our second was Scarlett (both red cars) and our current car (gold) is called Sunny! — @reneemullaart

I have a habit of naming my personal possessions and household appliances. The weirdest thing I have named is my shower who is called Lewis. — @cailinrua619

Had a non-toxic skillet we named Alan Greenpan — @courtney.whitsett

We have an ottoman shaped like a moose named Fred — Susanne

My doorstop is called Emil — @jaa_nii_kaa

Food, Plants, and Animals

Sourdough starter. I’m calling her Frankie. It’s inspired by Frankenstein because of all the crazy monster bubbling, but I say it’s short for Francesca — @bretagne_noelle

My brother and sister-in-law have a starter named Bubbles! They are childless by choice and often use Bubbles in place of a child in conversation. “Did we remember to feed Bubbles today? How is he doing? Does he need to be cleaned, water, etc?” — @madiwunderlich

I named a cow Bingo Bongo once — @oak_haven_11
