I suppose that it's a common tech practice, the
naming of things.  I know many engineers who name the
damnedest things.  Usually stuff that is mysterious
and quirky. 
     I, myself, have an Echoplex named Justine, my
multitrack machine goes by Lucinda, a 1920's wax
cylinder recorder that's often referred to as Richard
(or Dick as in Dictaphone) and a 50's Harmony acoustic
that came with the name Poonch scrawled clumsily in
sharpy on the back.  Humanization is an odd thing.
 
Nah, Jack. You're just as big a dope as the rest of us. (like the font?)
