What is the motivation behind naming things that should not be named? I'm not talking harry-potter he-who-must-not-be-named crap here either. I'd rather not talk about the disgusting habit of girls naming their lady-bits, and guys naming their junk, other to mention that it is revolting and abominable.
(quick side note, on the recommendation of a (supposedly) wise friend of mine, I am watching the anime "Fruits Basket" while I write this. I've come to the conclusion that the larger a characters eyes, the more attractive the character is supposed to be. For ex; the main characters eyes take up well over 60% of her face. she must be a stone cold fox)
I can understand why boats/ships need names. I can even understand why it is completely necessary to name weapons. All the important weapons have names, "Glamdring", "Biggoron Sword", "Exaclibur" and so on. If Arthur had just received "sword" from the lady of the lake... well, it just makes for a lame story.
Cars, however, do NOT need to be named. I know quite a few people who name their vehicles, and it just makes NO sense! FAR less sense than naming your nasty bits, because at least those are with you for life (hopefully). Why go to all the trouble of naming something only to have it break down on you and have to be retired? (and don't mention pets please, thats like comparing apples and oranges, only the oranges are made of thumbtacs)
Speaking of breaking down... my car has seen better days. More on this later. And on the zoo, I 'spose.
