I was curious,

I have a heard of a few good names for bows.

I was hoping to hear some of your choices for names and why you have chosen it for the bow.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

I call mine names all the time! I'm constantly shooting perfect arrows and the bow manages to steer the arrow off target.

Archery isn't something I do, it's who I am!
The road to "Sherwood" makes for an awesome journey.

No names for my bows. But it really is something that I should do.

My 72# Black Douglas is called "the beast" for rather obvious reasons  :D
My 41# Black Widow has "The Gonghunter" on the bottom limb in honour of my dead friend who always called me a "gonghunter" coz I was always after the medals at 3D shoots... It gave me some mojo that's for sure, took all the indoor FITA records in Norway in the trad class last winter and won the indoor champs...  :)  
"My precious" is my Black Douglas ILF....
My 52" Red Wing is called "Little Wing"
My DAS master with Border Hex 5s is called Svart Magi... Norwegian for Black Magic...

.. but they are all called "b1tch" when I miss!     :biglaugh:
Stand up and say it loud: I am a gap-shooter and proud!

Brock

My Jeffery Royal Hunter is MEDUSA...for snakeskins I keep on her limbs.

no name for habu or robertson yet.

Joe Mattingly named the last bow he made ONE HOLER before sending to me...

I have a John Strunk also without a name....maybe in turkey season she will get one.  :D

Well, there's the classic "Supertramp", my Bear Montana. Named him after a lost soul who trekked through America for 2 years before succumbing to the wilds of Alaska. My boyhood hero.
My Chaperral Kaibab carries the name "Wasiah", after the kind-hearted man who first placed it in my hands. Then, there's the Hill Halfbreed that I got from Vermonster13. It's proving harder than I thought to name; perhaps something will dawn on me this winter...

My bow is named 'Precious'.

It took me quite some time to find one that still loves me no matter how poorly I shoot her.
