Not giving them child-status (or perhaps more serious) doesn't indicate to us any less importance nor inclusion in the life of our family.

And for the record, dman, I'm not being snobbish, just reporting what happens at our house. If you want to give your instruments names, it's fine by me.

I'm more along the lines of this.

I used to name guitars after women I was chasing. I was young and didn't end up keeping those guitars. Nor was I even close to dating those women.
