icon_lol.gif No, you're not a nut. There has been several threads over the past week about all of us naming our "New Arrivals". I named mine "Ginger", she's cinnamon red. MrsMom named hers "Pearl", I believe(it's nickel pearl in color). LOL, there's a lot of name ideas. I bet your pink KA looks awesome! Do a search about naming new babies and you should come up with all the threads.

I think the pink ones are the best! It's OK to name your favorite toy!!! Our kids always do thumbs_up.gif

You are not nuts - ground boys name their cars, Our KA's are the equivalent kind of.
I have yet to name mine, but my husband calls it the "back breaker". We have to put it away as it's too big to fit on the counter all the time wont fit between the counter and top cabinet(I need a new kitchen!).
Since I am 6 months pregnant it's now too heavy for me to maneuver hence the name.
Once our 3rd boy is named I will name my KA something girly! Maybe Blanche since it's white!

Nope your not. Mine is 13 years old and was the best gift my now ex gave me. She outlasted the marriage and is still going strong.

I call mine Mama I guess because I am always cheering her on... "come on Mama" - especially when making MMF. I don't know what I would do without her. icon_lol.gif

Matter of fact, I am going to go talk to her right now. birthday.gif

I don''t have a KA but I have my eye on one. Everytime I visit the store I have to stroke her and say hello. She is pink and is temporarily named 'Sweetie'. When I can afford to adopt her I will give her a proper name. icon_lol.gif

I don't have a KA, but we name our vehicles in my family. The newest addition is my Mom's beige (factory color name is vanilla) colored Town & Country van. Mom named her Vanna White. icon_lol.gif

Mine Ka is called cranberry but it is actually a hot pink. My favourite colour....I just call her "my baby". I think it may be giving my daughter a complex! icon_surprised.gif

omg, i was just thinking about posting a thread to request help naming mine! she's black and shiny and works so hard. she needs a proper name.

we name our cars in our house. i used to have a little bright yellow hatchback that i named susie the shaggin wagon, but i had to trade her in for our van when i was pg with my twins, so we got a 2005 honda odyssey that has so many bells and whistles, we named him maximillion because he's so posh! lol

anyhoo, if ya'll are nuts, what does that make me? lol

LOL ok well Since we're all proving how crazy we are...I just got a new White KA, I had my eye on a Red one, but the hubby surprised me so I'm not complaining. So I named my white one what I was gonna name my red one...Cherry! I want to paint a set of Cherries right on the side like Alton Brown has flames on his.

Okay, so I guess I am certifiable, too. I have two KAs, my smaller one is named Bessie and my Professional is Big Bertha. I have loaned each of them out on occassion and have always been looked at rather strangly when I refer to them by their proper names. Needless to say, neither of them go for many play dates any more...

I haven't named my mixer but I do tend to name vacuum cleanersicon_razz.gif We have a huge shop vac named "monster vac" and we have one of those little robot sweeper vacuums that go by themselves. His name is "Stan" icon_lol.gif

We ought to name our new mixer "Bubba" though. It's a 20 Qt Huge!

My 110w KA in storage in the states is named Betty too! She has a sticker of Betty Boop (like the old bomber planes) that an old boyfriend affixed.

My 220w KA here in the UK is nameless thus far...she needs something very "English", don't you think?

My KA is called the "Gift that keeps on giving"! I got at my shower and it is still going strong, 9 years later. Everyonce in awhile she moans a little, and DH screams, quick, go buy a back up! lol

This reminds me of the Bob the Builder movie... with Bob's Dad, where are the boys when you need them... something Fix a lot. I love the Sir Mix Alot.

I don't have my KA yet, but as soon as I get the next 20% off coupon from BB&B, she will be mine! I'm getting the pink Artisan--I know, I know, everyone swears by the pro, but I've had my heart set on the pink since I first saw it! I already have her named--Candy Girl--and have been referring to her by name since I made the decision to purchase her! I've been comparison-shopping online, making my husband laugh when I make statements like, "Candy Girl is on sale at Kohl's right now, but I can still get her for less at BB&B with that 20% off coupon!"

I guess I am a nut too, I named mine lil' momma II. My daughter gave me mine so since she's lil' momma I, I have to name my KA after her. They are both lifesavers.
