No. I respect everyone's preference to do what they want, but I don't get the idea.
I call people names (when I can remember them), I call places by the names they have been given centuries before I was born, and I call pets by the name given by the breeder or last owner (although all the cats I've ever had answered best to the word "food"), and I call inanimate objects like musical instruments by the make and model given to them by the makers.
Frinstance - I call my car a Honda CRV and I call the guitar I was playing tonight my Collings DS1.
OK, I confess that I do sometimes call the female voice of the sat nav "Wanda the Honda!"
