I call mine "the Ultra" or "the Harley". Everyone else just calls it "awesome".

Why do we Antropomorphize?
By Rick Nauert PhD Senior News Editor
PsychCentral


"Giving human characteristics to animals, inanimate objects or natural phenomena is a human trait called “to anthropomorphize.” . . .

Anthropomorphism carries many important implications. For example, thinking of a nonhuman entity in human ways renders it worthy of moral care and consideration. In addition, anthropomorphized entities become responsible for their own actions — that is, they become deserving of punishment and reward. . . .

Various motivations may also influence anthropomorphism. For example, lacking social connections with other people might motivate lonely individuals to seek out connections from nonhuman items. Anthropomorphism helps us to simplify and make more sense of complicated entities."

Just in case you guys naming your bikes and lawnmowers and GPS systems and cars and trucks etc. missed it. Here it is again.

lacking social connections with other people might motivate lonely individuals to seek out connections from nonhuman items.

You guys need to get out more.

I call mine ATHENA; the Goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill.

And my Harley's name is Beauty, cuz I ride her like a beast.

As you may have realized, I think naming inanimate objects is a little silly.
TC, I'm recommending some serious alcohol therapy. I want you to drink until we think you start making sense.
