One of my pet peeves lately has been people who name their Ukuleles. Of couse I'm not talking about you guys (if you indeed do that). But I've seen people who list their ukuleles in their signature and have their cute little pet-names listed next to each one. Kala AS-C Sadie, Bugsuke Concert Scoobie, Oscar Schmidt Soprano Pookie, Washburn Tenor Princess...etc. Come on guys...really? And if you do name your uke, when do you actually use their names? Do you talk to them? Do you call for them in the night? Do you whisper to them, telling them to make you sound better? What's next, making out with them? Rubbing them on your crotch? Hugging them at the end of your videos? Just to be clear, ukulele's are inanimate objects. They are NOT living beings. Seriously where does it end?
Ok now that I am done bitching I am going to get up off of Dave (my chair), walk accross Matt (the floor) and go eat Suzie (my sandwich). After that I might go play with Little Kevin.

only thing i've ever named was my wang. being unimaginative and holding fast to my chinese ancestry, i named it "Wang".
I have secret nicknames for all of you.
I named my uke Betty after my grandmother. The uke I now own my dad bought in 1965, shortly after he graduated from Decatur High School in Alabama (where I now live). It reminds me of my dad but also of my grandmother because she was still alive then.
Ouch.
Just so everyone knows, I am just teasing, and not singling anyone out. I would be lying if I said I never named an inanimate object....after all, I ate a big plate of spaghetti and took a huge Russ earlier. jk guys. Seriously, no offense intended.
Oooh I need some ice for my burn. BCSI- there's nothin wrong with a fluke hug ;p
LMAO!!!
Hmm... this uke-naming reminds me of IKEA. They also give names to all kinds of furniture or accessories! My favorite IKEA name is "Fartful" (which means "speedy" in Swedish) and is a desk for kids. My ukes don't have names.
If it makes you guys feel better I haven't named my new Lanikai (yet).
