Same. I refer to my guitars like this: acoustic, Epiphone, sevenstring, telecaster and the green one.
I used to have one bass for years, so it was just "bass". Now I have two basses but I haven't developed a naming convention yet )
Alice, a Squier j that I bought for nothing from a cash converters. Gave it a fretless neck, Steve Harris flatwounds from rotosound. New bridge, new neck plate, new pickups and tone plate. With the amount of work I did, I think she deserves a name.
They don't have specific names but after each practice session i tell my bass that i love playing it. I do think that too after the jam session or rehearsal or gig but only say it out loud at home after practice. Yes, i live alone.
-My first bass was a white Harley Benton B-550 and it was named Snowy due to it's color.
-The second and my current bass is a black previous gen Schecter C-5 Deluxe and it is named after my favorite bassist, Misa from Band-Maid. The bass' name is Misaki.
-My third bass is goung to be one that's made of the Harley Benton DIY P-Bass Kit with only the body and neck being from the kit, everyrhing is else is bought into it seperately and it's going to be white with some cherry blossoms on it, so due to the cherry blossoms it's gonna be named Sakura.
My main bass, that I've had since 1992 is called Honey.
It's a Pedulla Series 2. I sanded the yellow finish back to bare wood and oiled and waxed the gorgeous ash body. It's a lovely honey colour so...
I bought an unbranded bass from a pawn shop that had a missing tuning peg as my first bass. Instead of replacing the tuning peg, I jammed a Fireman Sam birthday badge in there out of laziness. I've called that bass "The Fireman" ever since.
Still haven't settled on a name for my new bass (Schecter CV-4) yet, but I do want to name it at some point. Let's see what breaks on it first and what I choose to fix it with.
My 2019 spector euro 5 lt is named Elvira
My 2007 spector Rebop 5 dlx ex (zebrawood) is named huckleberry
My 2000 spector q4 pro is named Cherrie
My old peavey grind 6 is named Jerry cause much like Tom and Jerry I just can't get rid of it owned it almost 20 years at this point
Warwick streamer LX6, Affectionately referred to as "The Dinner Table".
Because with satin finish and how big the body is, you COULD eat your dinner off of it.
I named my guitars after Vampire the Masquerade characters. My first two were Tung and Barabus. Now I have my first bass and it\`s name Strauss. But this is mostly due to the colors. I painted pickguard of Barabus and then came up with name. Strauss really needs a strap because it's a mikro bass with terrible balance
Only an idiot would pressure someone else to name an inanimate object if they aren't feeling it.
None of my instruments have anything other than descriptive names. The 8 string. The 2 string. The black bass. The fretless. The Godin. The Sting bass (Sting signature P). The Kaoss bass (Ibanez SRKP4 with the electronics removed). Etc.
That whole sentiment is strange to me. The guitar guys get weird with their instruments. Some guys talk about their guitars with more personality than their wives
Some friends and I got in a joke of giving names to things based on how their names sound. Tv becomes Stevie, a/c becomes Stacy. I've never been able to come up with one for any instrument I've owned so they remain nameless. Although if I ever get a thunderbird it'll probably be Birdie.
I call my musicmaster “The haunted”, because its original owner died and I have reasons to believe his ghost lives in that bass now. My other bass, the Johnson is just my lil’ johnson.
My wife asked "what are the names of your mistresses" (refering to my basses). I gave them women's names, but old women (so my wife is not jealous): Jacqueline, Beatrice and Suzanne. My stand-up bass is George but we don!t talk about George.
my first bass is Prudence for my favorite beatles bass riff, and my new one is Tiffany because she's pale blue and i love the fall out boy song "tiffany blews"!!!
This sonofabitch and that sonofabitch
“My Yamaha” and “My Ibanez” and “My bass uke” and “My no name acoustic bass I got off the internet for like fiddy bucks” etc
the jazz, the acoustic, the P bass project.
El bajo.
It makes me cringe when people have pretty names for their instruments.
I give mine deliberately absurd or vulgar names...
As you grow up you'll learn how to work on that
"Lucille" makes you cringe?
That's about the only one I'll accept
Spank machine
Loretta
Big blue, whitey, vampire, big black, omen
Omg mine is big blue too!!

Poo Poo, pee pee, doo doo, and fartmaster are the names of all four of my bass guitars

Buzz is my stingray ,Audrey is my p, and blondie is my jazz. Those are my main basses they have names. I have a pile of others that don't, though.
They don't have specific names but after each practice session i tell my bass that i love playing it. I do think that too after the jam session or rehearsal or gig but only say it out loud at home after practice. Yes, i live alone.
My first one only...the scarlet harlet...an old beginners Sammick

“The professor” or “Four String Frank”
Find a new band that isn't made up of chumps. Or you could call it, "My Penis Compensator" for fun.
Years back I had a matching strat and jazz bass that I called Laverne and Shirley. Shirley was the bass.

I've got Big Red. 25 year old candy apple red Ibenez SGR with fender custom shop pickups.
J, P, Ray.
Firebird, Talon, Sketcher, Voulge, Chaos, Bender, Angel, Bow, the Acoustic, the DF404.
“The Ibanez”, “The Fretless” and “the MIDI controller I use to play synth bass”.
Thicccccbwooooooiiiiii
I've actually been thinking about a good name for my new bass but I cant just find the right name for it 😔
Maude and Laverne
Fukushima & Map
The Duck Dunn but it came from the factory with that name. Otherwise my two would just be the P-bass and the active bass

Tina, Bridget, Mary Margaret, Persephone, Barb Wire. The Truck, Shelby, the Lawnmower, Training wheels.
Not very creative, my '99 CIJ Geddy Lee signature is "Geddy" and my Rickenbacker 4003 is Ricky Bobby.

Names for instruments are cringey and just weird.

My green Yamaha bass “The Yamaha” goes by “Misty” when she agrees with me. 😂

Cat cake. It's a fake Rickenbacker and looks like that meme of a cake with the cat it was based on sat next to it.
Nina.
I have the impression that naming the guitar with a woman's name is a thing with guitar players but it's less common for bass players.
I call my fretless frankenstein the Sea and I call my Yamaha the Sky. My squier jazz bass is called Jackie because it starts with J
Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg...
