Naming Random Things.
So I think I saw someone post one of these for instruments in DtE, but I haven't named my piano yet so I can't really post there.
I do have some random things named, so I would like to share them!
~ A smoke detector. Yep. The smoke detector outside my bathroom goes off every time the steam from a hot shower gets outside the room and says, "Evacuate! Smoke detected!" My mom and I named the voice that it speaks "Smokey" because it's a smoke detector.
~ A sharpie. I have a thin-tipped sharpie that has the whole tip (even the gray part at the top) black, and if I press the side of it against paper, it leaves a blot. So, like any sensible person, I named the sharpie "Inkblot."
~ Google Maps. Last summer, when we went to Pacific Grove for a week, my mom said that she should name the Google Maps voice she was using. I wanted to name it "Miss Amanda Pear" because the enicials were MAP, but my mom insisted on using "Mappy Appy Pappy" because it's a lot more fun and still has the enicials MAP.
So does anyone else name their objects?

When I was little I named a Sharpie marker Supertip. Because it said "supertip" on it.

My mom switched her Siri voice to a male British accent and named it JARVIS.

... Did anyone get the Marvel reference?

Yes! That's awesome! I'm officially calling my Siri FRIDAY now. At least in my head.
I don't really name things much... But my old stuffed animal dog is named "Dogs". I have no clue why the plural.
Wait, I don't really use Siri much. Naming her seems like a waste. Maybe I'll call my iPod FRIDAY instead?

Our family named our GPS Callie. It was my idea, accually. My sister and I enjoyed naming our balloons when we were young. And last, but certainly not least, me and three of my friends always play with the same vollyball at recess every day. Gavin decided to name it Timmy. I am the proud mother of him.

Oh, I forgot:
I am a precussionist in band, so I named my bell kit Bella(very clever, right?) and my practice snare pad Seth. Also, I named my bike Trixie because that's what it said on the side of it.

I forgot some more: our oven mit was christaned Mitty, and our dad used to make him "talk"; two days ago I was on the app google earth and I found a random trash can which I soon started to call Bob.

Also when I was little my dad would pretend his hand was talking, and we would call it Talkie.

I named my iPad "Plum".

Heck, I do this WAY WAY too often.
I named a can of my dad's shaving cream "Ghosty" and I really can't remember why I thought it was a good idea. I think it had to do with the time I used shaving cream as ectoplasm for a (failed) prank.
The living room piano is named Aki. I then used the name on one of my OCs with a piano aesthetic.
My cat brooch is named Sakura because it is pink like a cherry blossom. (can't remember how that started)
And one knife in our cutlery drawer is named Mister Stabby. I can't remember if I named it after a terraria monster, the nickname my best friend and I used on a song character, or just because I use it to stab my food. It was probably a combination of all three.
I also name my stuffed animals and dolls but I don't think that counts.
Oh, and my favorite tea cup is nammed Cuppy.
Banba said a bad word O-O
