"Glenna".
Our harp player ran across a lounge marquis in town (Boston) that posted,
"Glenna Gibson" appearing.
I just made my final payment on a 1966 Gibson Firebird 12string.
I brought the guitar to practice that night,
he told us about the name,
history.
Even B.B. asked her name before he signed it.(early80s Salem,MA)

So, those that simply call your "axes" tools, that's OK, it's your view.
Not all of my guitars "have a name" either but this one's special.

Well I’ve finally came up with a name for my Strat.

Gwen

Why Gwen you ask? Because while doing some body work on it this past week and checking it to see how well of a job I’ve done I came to the conclusion that in some rooms, at some angles, under some lighting it looks really good. In others it looks hideous. Just like Jerry Seinfeld’s girlfriend Gwen in “The Strike” episode

I've had some instruments I've named in the past. I named my 78 P. I've had a few basses in between I never bothered to name. My American Vintage 57 Reissue I might name if it ever strikes me. I've only had it 4 months and I'm already more attached to it than to any instrument I've ever owned. I've had a lot of "breakthroughs" in my playing on it and I've bonded with it really strongly. I've been gigging hard with it and the finish is already starting to wear through in the usual spots. I have a feeling that this bass will be with me til the end. However, If I name it the name will have to mean something. It'll have to "come to me" like it did with my 78 all those years ago.

Only one of my guitars has a name and I did not name it.
My Aqua Marine Metallic Telecaster has a tiny Yoda sticker on the headstock.
When I picked it up from the shop where I had some work done, the guy at the counter opened the case and said "ahhh, the Yodacaster."
That name has stuck ever since.

I haven't anthropomorphized any of my guitars.

Then again, I tend to deanthropomorphize humans too, and refer to them by function instead of name. My wife goes to see Mary, and I go to see the doctor. She calls a female child "her", I call it "it", just like a guitar.

I don't name my guitars because they're tools and I have a bunch and my geezer brain would forget half of them anyway. Bit that may change. I'm working on a guitar that I'm building out of an old Relax Bedpan and it will be the Shitar or Crappocaster. I have all the parts and hopefully will begin work this week. Photos will follow.

In some cases it's okay if people don't post pictures.
