    Just like ,nhweaver, said, give it a little time. Her personality will let you know what to name her. All my machines have names; Lizzie, my all time favorite, Rosie, Mable, I Love Lucy, Sweet Baby Jane, Bonnie, Pandora,my newest Brother, I never know what she is going to do and she never makes a beautiful stitch,we have a love/hate relationship! Good luck with your new machine. MAWLUV

    I have only named my Featherweight. Her name is Quiltie because I only use her for piecing quilt tops. My Bernina is nameless.

    My vintage Free Westinghouse is Stella. I wanted a name that went with her time period.
    My Elna is Shelby, I don't know why - it just fit. I guess it makes me think of a strong-willed, outgoing woman figure or the sleek, fast Shelby Mustang.
    My Brother is Little Brother.

    All my machines have names. Afterall, they are my dear friends. I have Tilda, Silvie (15's), Opal & Esther (the twins 301's), then I have Mr. T (the treadle in a parlour cabinet) Big Mama,and babe (janome's) and Sweet Pea, my little toy machine. Oh, and my latest, Lucy (99). Yep, she needs a name. it will come to you.

    After you have sewn on her for a while you will find a name will come to you!
