Oh heck no! All mine have names.

XC- Betty (orginally named after the Betty shifters I had on a previous bike)
Hardtail - Bella
Previous DH Bikes - Buffy (my last 3), Lucy, and Sally

I figure we baby the darn things so much they deserve names!!!

Well, to be honest, since I was going to buy two bikes next year, I was thinking about giving them song titles like

"The Bone Machine"
or
"TV Eye"

Just curious. I know people name their cars and such. I just got a new frame and I love it so much already that I feel a name may be in order :D
personally i don't think that a name is appropriate until the entire bike is complete and a celebratory first ride has been performed.

but yes, my downhill bike is sissy and my mtn cross bike is harley

Are the people who name their bikes the same people who come up with clever names their private parts?

Just wondering. I always thought that was kind of weird.

Normally I do but my current two haven't told me what their names are. My last bike that was named was named Mallory.

My wife named her Volvo 240 Mulva (obscure Seinfeld reference)

I still can't bring myself to name inanimate objects. You people are weird.
