So I believe that naming an instrument is a fine art.
They have to have a reason though or at least a theme.
(i.e. my cars have been [name_f]Millie[/name_f] (got her in 2000–Millenium), [name_f]Tillie[/name_f] (just till it puttered out), and [name_u]Gus[/name_u] (Prius that’s no gas guzzler))
DH names his after writers. [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] Aquinas, [name_m]Aristotle[/name_m], [name_m]Socrates[/name_m]
[name_f]My[/name_f] acoustic guitar is [name_f]Livy[/name_f].
We just got a lovely mandolin for [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] and it still needs a name!
She will be a shared instrument (me, my DH, and my father).
And something makes me think she needs a girly name. None of my actual favorites seem to fit.
[name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] has the right feel, but it’s not quite right.
Literary or mando themed or just girly suggestions in the same vein as [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f].
