My Janome Horizon is Naomi (Naomi Janome - it rhymes!) and my Crown Jewel longarm is Bijoux (which means "jewel" in French) My 21 year old son named my old Janome "Janelle". He is learning how to quilt on Janelle.

I only have one. A singer that was my mothers. I got when she passed about 1 1/2 years ago. It's only been in the last couple of months I have a started feeling like it is "mine" instead of "hers". I will see what comes to me as an appropriate name. I don't have any ideas at the moment.

Singer 1951 301a is Miss Ida after my maternal grandmother
Singer 1909 66-1 in treadle is Harriet (she told me her name after I got her a treadle to sit in - she was so pleased with it!)
Singer 1957 221 FW is now Sabrina, after my grandaughter, who asked me to name her that..so I did.
Elna Supermatic is Kitten...should be Paddy or Maeve because of her lovely green color!
Singer 1928 99K is as yet unnamed...I've only had her out of her case 1 time...I am waiting to get her handcrank on at the TOGA next week, and then I think she'll tell me her name.
Western Electric 1917 is Katherine Hepburn as she needed an elegant name to go with her elegant art deco decals & lines! Also my favorite actress of all time! I haven't sewed with her yet, as her wires are really bad.
I love naming my sewing companions!! They do have their own personalities after all!! :-)
