    I wanted to find really cool names for my guitars, but I wasn't inspired at all. Though I've named a really old broken black guitar Tembrion, I thought it was god of shadows or something like that in some sort of mythology, but I'm starting to doubt that. :grin: Anyway, I think that name suits that guitar :slight_smile:
    Good luck naming your strat. My electric guitar is a telecaster, and finding a name for it is impossible :slight_smile:

    Same here. I haven't named my guitar, because I can't think of a nice name... It's a good idea, though, it think I'll find a name. :lol:

    Do you want to give ideas to each other? :grin:

    I've named all of my instruments.

    My piano is called Diana, and my violin, Artemis. My ukulele is called Fiyero after the Wicked character. :grin:

    I only have 1 instrument which is a harmonica and I have named it 'Kyu-Kyu' simply because it is a translation of the work 'squeak' in japanese. ^^

    I love the name Calliope, but don't know which guitar to name like tgat. I think the classical, but maybe the telecaster... Haha difficult decision :grin:

    I named my F attatchment trombone 'Joanne' (Its a Bach. Johan? Joanne? I thought it was funny. She is my wife.
    My tenor trombone is named Jenny. She is my girlfriend.
    My P-Bone is name Terri-With-An-I, because she's a Lotta fun, but not good for professional events, and you don't take her out in public much.
    Other than that, my ukulele is named Harold, my vuvuzela is Lopez, and my Viking horn is Sven.
