Do any of you name your inanimate objects ? I have a new tumble dryer, she's fab. She needs a name. Then caught myself typing into Google "good names for tumble dryers"

And thought I wonder if other people do this ?

Haha, I don't!

Bella?

I only name stuffed toys, and random spiders (saw a massive one on a lamp post yesterday that I named Lucius.) Although I do talk to things like the kettle.

Tumble Bee.

MumW · 17/10/2018 13:38

Our 1st dishwasher was called Ethel.

GlassSuppers · 17/10/2018 13:39

Reminds me of Bings Brenda the Blender and VooVoo the Vacuum.

It's not normal, nor is it okay, purely because of Bing  not envy.

nokidshere · 17/10/2018 13:40

MistressoftheYoniverse · 17/10/2018 14:11

SapphireSeptember I name spiders too!...we had a really cute one that we used to feed woodlice he was called Killah (Ghost face) Grin

TheWernethWife · 17/10/2018 14:20

When my children were small we had a red vacuum cleaner, it was so loud, my children called it Llewellyn the welsh dragon.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 17/10/2018 14:30

Our huge new food processor gets referred to as "The Big Beast" -- but not to its face. I wouldn't want to offend it, in case it stopped working.

Aprilislonggone · 17/10/2018 14:34

Not really an appliance but I called my very first Vibrator Victor!! Blush

Sonarbe · 17/10/2018 14:34

Only my robot hoover. The rest of them are not worthy.

recklessruby · 17/10/2018 14:46

My black car is called Ebony or Ebsy lol.
I talk to her and the kitchen appliances but don't name them.
Our hoover at work is Henry
He is really loud and falls over and whacks people with his nozzle.
He is known as the big red bastard Grin

melin · 17/10/2018 15:50

Our vacuum cleaners are called
Big hoovy (upright dyson) and
Little hoovy (handheld dyson)

Named by ds1 as a toddler!

Our Christmas tree is always called Spiky.

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 17/10/2018 16:34

DM has a rather nice hand-held G-tech Hoover with a long nozzle nose. Known as "noo noo" after the hoover in the Teletubbies with a long nose, to distinguish it from the big g-tech hoover.
