Help me find a name for her!



What about you?

why dont you call her MARINA, she looks like she would be called that

Peter.............oh you mean musical instrument

Marr, I love you.

I call my EL guitar Rosy... cuz shes coverd in vines.. .. (I painted them on my self ... I was bored..)

Marina... damn i like that!

Any other proposals?

I named my keyboard after my grandfather. Theodorus.

can´t think of anything, but Marina is good.

i´m quite sure Gustaf from Mando Diao called his guitar Natasha.
A russain name for a red guitar owned by a communist.
GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

since when is Gustaf a communist?

he said that himself when he told that about his guitar on mtv long time ago.
i thought in sweden are quite a lot leftists anyway.
(shit, i don´t like how i expressed that)

Mhm, well they have a 'left' party there as a goverment right now... but bigger parts of it are a bit right ... eh. Thats difficult

"left".that can be a lot. "Blood+Honour" is strong in Scandinavia, too., i think.
bad bad bad

my guitar is black.i don´t like it.
I need a Metal name for it.
but my strap is pink, so it´s difficult.

it´s guitar STRAP not guitar BELT

i love this thread, sadly i dont have any instruments to name, i had a piano but i quit lol

Guitar Names

This webpage might help u choose a name for ur guitar... I like the name "Trystin" from that forum.
But remember, its not because someone else chose a name for their guitar that u cant name it the same!

my guitar is black too... but its an acoustic one. It would have a very average cheap name. Like 'John'. Ha, okay, Ill name it John.

In Sweden there are flags everywhere.

John haha.
Hassall (is that his name at all?)

thanks cortines.if i won´t find a name there i´ll call it Carlos muahahaha
or Emiliano hahaha
or just "guitar".
(this joke is so passé )

or does Get_out_of_my_bed have an idea??

'John' is also a joke between Salome and me.
Not as much as "Carlos D" though

don´t make fun of me, i´m very sensitive on that.
i never wanted a name, and now i can´t think of anything else.

i think i´ll call it "nana".YES!!!!!!
that was a synonyme for prostitute in early 20th century art and it reminds me of Dada.

but Salome is a great name too.there´s a painting called like that.
but it´s some tragedy too, isn´t it??

I wasnt making fun of you. It's the truth.

alright, then i didn´t get it.
i wonder when i´ll finally take nana to my breast again haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaa.

Really: 1) I had a crush on a guy called John, 2) "Carlos D" is our inside anti-joke

anti-joke.hahaha
i´ll never understand that.
i hardly have inside jokes.but i have lots of inside names for people in school like Lustmolch and Bergtroll.

it´s much easier to find names for human beings than for instruments.

Indeed. I sometimes forget the real names then though. In this summercamp I had crushes on 'Katzenfutter', 'Ben Kweller' and 'Olli Schulz'

^Guitar is Norbert and the amp is Herman


Henrik

My piano's name is...Rusty. For obvious reasons. I called my sis' boyfriend's guitar Bitch.

Thank you and you are very welcome!

By the way, I was told to give a name to my guitar 3 years ago by my black-american guitar teacher.

But he said it was important that guys should name their guitar with a female name, and vice-versa for the girls...

It's not that I'm un-original...but I have never named an object. I don't know...it's just not my cup of tea...I never even named my former pets.

I like to give my boyfriend funny nicknames when we're in bed doing the cha-cha-cha. Hope that counts.

^oh sure, that counts.

i don´t care.there are male "nanas" too.
why is that so important?
because you play more sensual then?

i guess i just named it...julias guitar...

2 things:
- when u see a male nana, call me at 0032/(0)472827330
- its all psychological, im pretty sure that u actually DO play more sensually

Ha, I always forgot "Olli Schulz"'s real name, but it came to my mind right after "Olli Schulz".

I think I'll call my mother's guitar, which is mine now, Dee Dee.

oh really?you think my guitar symbolizes a phallus to me?i never noticed.
i could call you immediately then.my father muahahahaa(not really)

What? John? A joke?

DADA means "Defence Against the Dark Arts", maybe the french word means the same.

I named my natural colored acoustic Forrest, and my black electric Craig...(of course.), and by the way, I, uh, "snuggle" with my black electric named Craig haha, and then there's red, my crappy red and black ebay acoustic, and then I have an electric-acoustic, but the electric part of it broke. he doesn't really have a name.

Shhh... Hey... Call it Johnny, call it Johnny Ramone!!!!

WTF?
dada means "steckenpferd" in french.The dadaists just opened a dictionary and took the first word they saw.that´s what i read.
dada means nothing anyway.it is useless.
so you are Salome.Now i know your name.Hello.It sounds beautiful.i´t has something to do with greek literature, doesn´t it?

Lol... iv always used "dada" when i was little kid.
If i used a unprofessional translation, "dada" would be "horsie" in english

Erm... I always thought and I've always been told that it has something to do with the bible... Greak literature... Interesting point... That's new to me. Ah, I'm reading the new HP book and I saw DADA, which means "Defence Against the Dark Arts" and I reminded that because dada was mentioned in a post before.

ooooops i think i´m wrong then.
But there is even a "Salome" by Oskar Wilde.There is a painting by Aubrey Beardsley for that.
Whatever, I´m not even sure about that.
If HP means Harry Potter, then.........err i forgot.

Haha. Er... I'm not sure either. They're always a few people who tell me new things about "myself".

I very randomy thought of a just-for-guitar-name:

~Resona~

I though from the french word "résonner" which means "to resound" in english, which is the amplification of the sounds inside the guitar's body when the chords are strummed...

What you think?

that sounds too intelligent to me.muahahahaha
i like Marina better.There is an awesome italo-german song called "Marina"muahahahahaha

Yes, conclusion made...

I am pleased to announce you that my blue Cort NZ-S1 is officially named:

~Marina~


Applause, thank you...

of course it does! DADA would probally be my favourite subject.

i don´t know anything about Harry Pottter.i´m not even sure if i know what it is about.seems like the author doesn´t have a lot of own ideas.Well, who has??
but if Harry Potter is a nihilist, dada would really fit.

i named my trumpet Mr. Feeny... (after the boy meets world guy)

but my lovely dreadnaught is named mary jane

I call my acoustic "Juanito"

I call my electric "Eric"

I call my keyboard "Mystick"
