I have to admit that when I first started collecting--single shot rifles at the time--I gave each of them names. A few years later I needed to let them all go for financial reasons. It was pretty painful at the time. Since then I still name my cars, boats, etc. but not my guns. But, it was easier to say "I'm taking Henry to the range today" than it was to say "I'm taking the model one and a half Remington rolling block to the range today." So, I'm on you side on this one.
