    I have a red eye (1914) that I just won in an Ebay auction. She is from Canada and I call her Canadian Rose.
    I also have a White which is a workhorse and a Feather Weight which I have not named yet.

    These are the only machines I sew on.

    My Featherweight is named Toni, for Antoinette, my Singer 66 is Black Bertha, because she is so shiny black, my 127 is nameless and likely to stay that way, my Kenmore 19606 is Beauty and my almost 50yr old Elna is Wonder. She was a wonder in her day and still is the most reliable old work horse ever made. Never in a shop for anything.

    Janome 6600 is lovingly known as "Mack" at home because it can drive through anything I give it, but when I pack it up the stairs to take to a class, I usually end up calling it "the beast" cause it weighs a ton!

    It didn't occur to me to name my Bernina 930 until I fried the circuit board in a puff of smoke (I'd only had her six months). I knew immediately that her name was Betsy, and she's been Betsy ever since. And she's all better now.
