When people name their body parts — particularly their arms — they're probably saying Meet My Good Friends Lefty and Righty. Well, this trope is where people name their "arms." Some people have really strong emotions about their weapons. So much so, they give them a name. Anyone who does this either has a sentimental attachment to said weapon, is a veteran from some war, is a major Gun Nut, is a person who lost their love and still remembers them, is generally insane, or is some combination of the above. In any case, someone who gives a name to their gun or knife is usually someone to watch out for and generally not one to mess with. Naturally, anyone who does this is considered fair game for Cargo Ship jokes. A subtrope of Named Weapons — this trope only applies when the name is a nickname given by the wielder, not a name the wielder is informed of by word of mouth or writing, or as an otherwise "official" name. "Vera" CAN graduate to a "true name" if used in great deeds and accepted by many. Sister trope to Cute as a Bouncing Betty (when a type of weapon is given a cute name), Legendary Weapon (for when the name and the weapon become truly famous), and Stock Weapon Names (for when common names are used between works). The inverse is They Call Him "Sword", which occurs when somebody gets nicknamed for a weapon. Empathic Weapons and Evil Weapons are a different issue. Ships and planes nearly always have a name. I Call Him "Mister Happy" is a different named "weapon". No relation to And Call Him "George". |

Night Watch referenced the above "Smith and Wesson" line when Vimes pulls a crossbow and says "Meet my friends, Mr. Burleigh and Mr. Stronginthearm." The threat falls flat, however, because Vimes is back in time before those weapon-makers went into business, so nobody has any idea what he's talking about. | |

In Violet Evergarden, the titular character, Violet Evergarden, owns a battle-axe larger than her own body, which the Major had custom-built for her. The handle itself is big enough to be used as a club, and the head is so big that she can stand behind it and use it as a shield, as shown in Chapter 3. It is named "Witchcraft". | |

Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis features four Snap Dragon scrolls which seal the soul of the character that uses them in a sword which bears the name of the user. In addition to being powerful in their own right, the swords also carry over a portion of the unit's stats to buff the person wielding it, copy the unit's element (each element has a different design for the sword as well), and certain classes grant special effects (a snapped Sword Master would give an Instant Kill effect, a Fairy would increase luck, Angel Knights increase morale for units within a certain range of the wielder, ect.). | |

As in canon, Varric's most prized possession in Skyhold Academy Yearbook is named Bianca. In this alternate universe, however, she's a vintage typewriter. When he tells the flashback story of how he and Hawke met Tallis, he mentions her twin tasers, Kathryn and Thane. (In the actual Mark of the Assassin DLC, these are the names of the character's daggers.) In the in-series fanfic In Search of Certainty, the main characters are searching for a stolen sword by that name. |

Dear Wendy, a film written by Lars von Trier, is ALL about this trope. Every member of the Dandies weapon club names their gun/s and treats their gun/s as if it is their partner - if a Dandy uses another's gun instead of his/her own, it's like adultery. The film is structured with an ongoing narrator in the form of a letter to Wendy. About halfway through the movie, we realize Wendy is the main character's pistol. | |

In K, the current Blue King, Reisi Munakata, introduced the policy of giving the Clansmen's sabers names instead of serial numbers, which has previously been the practice. He names his own sword Tenro, which is the Japanese name for the star Sirius. When Saruhiko, a new recruit who is already his favorite, refuses to come up with a name for his sword, Reisi gives him one - Subaru (the Pleiades). Theirs are the only two with celestial references. Awashima's is named after a flower. All of the main squads' sword names are revealed, and some are video game/fandom references and other nerdery. |

Negan, the new villain of The Walking Dead, carries a barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat that he affectionately calls "Lucille" (possibly as a B.B. King reference.) He then cements his role as the bad guy by bashing longtime fan favorite Glenn's skull into the pavement with "her." He's also insanely protective of it and holds a makeshift funeral for it when it finally ends up destroyed. Lucille turns out to be the name of Negan's wife, who died of cancer before the zombie outbreak. |

Bleach: Subverted. Ichigo thinks this trope is in effect when Renji asks him his sword's name, regarding it as ridiculous sentimentality. However, he learns the hard way the trope that's actually in effect is Named Weapons, as it's extremely important for all shinigami to commune with their named swords to achieve their full potential. Once Ichigo learns his own sword's name, he becomes far more powerful. | |

Many of the better weapons in the Fire Emblem series, such as Ike's sword Ragnell and his father's greataxe Urvan in Fire Emblem 9 and 10. The player can also name the custom made weapons in FE 9 and 10. Owain, a character in Fire Emblem: Awakening, firmly believes naming your weapons adds more power to it. He comes up with ridiculous names for the most mundane of weapons, naturally. This gets lampshaded by Lissa. Owain also appears in Fire Emblem Fates (using the name Odin). His special ability? His crit chance goes up by 10 if you give him a custom weapon with a name at least eleven characters long. In Owain and Niles' support in Fire Emblem Warriors, Niles asks Owain for help in naming the sword Prince Leo gave him. Owain suggests "The Nightmare Sword of Gloom" because he thinks it should have a "dark" name to go with it. |

For a brief while near the (publishing-order) beginning of the Redwall series, the Sword of Martin the Warrior was dubbed "Ratdeath". Apparently Brian Jacques realized that really isn't a good name, and thus it underwent retcon. In later books, it has no real name, but "Sword" tends to be capitalized when you talk about it. | |

When doing cannon-related myths, the MythBusters crew usually borrows a cannon that the owner has named "Old Moses", as it "speaks with a great voice and lays down the Law". This is a common thing to do with cannons - one preacher-turned-artilleryman during the Civil War named four guns "Matthew", "Mark", "Luke", and "John" for the same reason. The MythBusters themselves engage this trope when they acquire a car (for doing car myths, naturally) and name it "Earl," named just because it seemed like an appropriate name for a large, black Cadillac. The "Leather Cannon" myth had them borrow a different cannon from Old Moses. This one was named "Bonnie Blue". Jamie Hyneman constructed a two-handled revolver in order to test Blasting It Out of Their Hands. He named it Newton's Law. The Build Team also occasionally names the devices/props they build to test their myths, such as Lucy the Moosey, a 600-pound rubber moose replica that they built to test a myth about animal/motor vehicle collisions. |

So... well, he didn't really name it, but he did label it. In one of the issues, Cable has a BFG named after Liefeld, as an in-joke on the way Liefeld used to draw ridiculously giant guns. |

NetHack features a variety of named magical weapons mostly from other sources, such as Excalibur, Stormblade, and Snickersnee. It also allows you to give a name to any item, and in some cases naming a normal weapon after a magical one causes it to become magic. | |

Fallout: Equestria: Littlepip discovers Applejack's personal weapon – an expertly-crafted, custom-made revolver named Little Macintosh – in a ruined building. It quickly becomes her weapon of choice. She later discovers a perfectly-preserved, custom-made anti-machine rifle named Spitfire's Thunder, which she gives to Deadshot Calamity, her best friend and the team's resident sniper. He loves it so much, it ends up becoming his go-to weapon when he has the ammo for it. Butcher of Blackwing's Talons carries a dismounted anti-air cannon as her main weapon and refers to it as Little Gilda. Averted when Reggie Grimfeathers snarkily responds to the qualities of a crossbow being silent and deadly with "Like a fart?". Her eyes light up almost immediately, but thankfully her mother puts a stop to it. |

Dr. T & the Women: The film opens with Doctor Sullivan Travers deep in Texas plains with his close friends. They're engaged in Spontaneous Skeet Shooting at golf balls struck from a tee. Doc T steps up with his Baikal over/under, and smoothly blasts a golf ball mid-flight, then gives his shotgun a loving pat right beside an engraved plate on the upper stock that reads "Bernadette Rose." | |

Salvatore's Drizzt books: Drizzt Do'Urden got two scimitars, Icingdeath and Twinkle. Wulfgar's war hammer, Aegis-fang, named by its maker; Cattie-brie's bow, Taulmaril the Heartseeker; and her sword, Khazid'hea (translated from Drow, 'Cutter'; although as a sentient sword, being named is justified). Similarly, Artemis Entreri eventually acquires the sentient sword Charon's Claw. Though never named in the novels, game rule information gives names to the twin longswords of Zaknafein, Drizzt's father: one is called Reaper, the other Reaver. As they are borderline epic in their abilities, and he was epic level, they no doubt earned their name. Averted with Enteri's dagger, which despite its impressive power, is only known by the rubies on it. That is enough. | |

Most MechWarrior games, as well as the 2018 BattleTech video game by Harebrained Schemes, allow the player to invoke this with their Ace Custom BattleMechs. MechWarrior Online introduces Hero 'Mechs to the equation, which are supposedly pre-built Ace Custom 'Mechs used by Ace Pilots throughout BattleTech history. Only a handful of these are actually based on or named after canon Ace Customs, and of the ones that aren't, a good chunk of the MechWarriors who supposedly used these 'Mechs are Canon Foreigners. The Hero 'Mechs themselves can also be customized and renamed as the player wishes. | |

Discworld: In Unseen Academicals, Mightily Oats makes an appearance during the Back Story, where we find he's taken to travelling through Uberwald to bring "forgiveness" to the remote villages... Then we learn "Forgiveness" is his nickname for the axe he used to lop off the head of Count Magpyr in Carpe Jugulum. Night Watch referenced the above "Smith and Wesson" line when Vimes pulls a crossbow and says "Meet my friends, Mr. Burleigh and Mr. Stronginthearm." The threat falls flat, however, because Vimes is back in time before those weapon-makers went into business, so nobody has any idea what he's talking about. Sergeant Detritus, a troll officer of the watch, commonly carries a weapon that Vimes refers to as The Piecemaker. It's a siege crossbow and fires many, many bolts at once. The name is descriptive of what happens to anything Detritus discharges it at... and also to anything that happens to be near what he's aiming at. Vimes notes that it's the one weapon the Watch has that can blow a house's front and back doors open with the same shot. |

Skin Horse: Tip carries a revolver named Alice. It is noteworthy that he usually does not bother to learn the name of the women he sleeps with, yet still names his gun. Don't forget Konstantin, whose "biceps have clever names. Are you wishing to hear?" Tip asks Unity to use "gentle persuasion" to get Sweetheart out of the rubber plant, unaware that Gentle Persuasion is the name of Unity's flamethrower. |

Final Fantasy VII: Vincent Valentine's main sidearm is called "Cerberus" which is fitting as it has three barrels, each one with a sculpted dog head on the end of the barrel. In the remake, one of Barret's gun-arm weapons is called Big Bertha. Likewise, Irvine Kinneas, the resident sharpshooter and gunslinger from Final Fantasy VIII used four specialized rifles throughout the game, named the Valiant, the Ulysses, the Bismarck and the Exeter, all named after real-world Battleships. |

Earthguard agent O-Ren approves of this, saying that women are better at naming weapons than men because they're not Compensating for Something.

Tolkien's Legendarium mostly uses Named Weapons instead of this trope. But "Sting" is only a nickname for the elven knife Bilbo found back in The Hobbit; after killing some Giant Spiders with it, he decided that a weapon that formidable should be named. (In the movie adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, it was apparently named and the short poem Sting is my name, I am the spider's bane written on it in runes at some point, presumably by Bilbo, as the inscription is not there in the film adaptation of The Hobbit.) | |

Metal Gear: The rather odd name of "Nikita" for the fictional steerable-missile launcher suggests that it's a callsign or affectionate nickname. It's named after the French movie Nikita, which is Hideo Kojima's favorite Luc Besson movie. In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, The Fear wields two crossbows he calls the Little Joe and the William Tell. In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, the Winds of Destruction have all named their weapons; Sundowner wielding a pair of high-frequency machetes called "Bloodlust", Mistral a long staff that also acts as a whip called "L'Etranger", Monsoon dual sais called "Dystopia". In Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Quiet can either carry standard rifle "Wicked Butterfly", non-lethal rifle "Guilty Butterfly", or high-powered lethal rifle "Sinful Butterfly". |

In the Iron Kingdoms setting, Orsus "The Butcher of Khardov" Zoktavir calls his axe "Lola". As long as we're talking IK, there's also Ashlynn's Nemesis, Croe's Hiss, Gorten's Forge Father, Seige's Ground Pounder, Vlad's Skirmisher & Ruin, Magnus' Foecleaver, Bart's Red Tide & Ace, Fiona's Viper, and Brocker's Thrasher, and that only covers the some of the mercenaries and a few faction combatants. Naming your weapon is pretty common in the Iron Kingdoms. Special note should be made for Liche Lord Asphyxious, whose spear Daemortus is named after the previous Liche Lord, whom Asphyxious killed and turned into said spear. |

In The Handbook of Heroes, Inquisitor owns a giant battle-axe which she calls "Mercy". Unlike Fighter's magic sword Mr. Stabby, it isn't an intelligent weapon, so Mercy is just a nickname rather than a self-chosen proper name. | |

In Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, Lady has a rocket launcher named Kalina Ann, named after her deceased mother. Dante's weapons tend to have proper names too, but it's because they're alive. Then there's Ebony and Ivory, his twin pistols; while they're black and gunmetal-gray, those are also female names. As well as Sparda's two guns, Luce and Ombra ("Light" and "Shadow" in Italian). Ebony and Ivory are named after the Stevie Wonder/Paul McCartney song. All of Dante's weapons are named, including an electric guitar that's actually a succubus. Going one step further: In the PS2 port of Viewtiful Joe, it's revealed that Blade Master Alastor is also Dante's sword. Nero's Sword and Gun from Devil May Cry 4 are named Red Queen and Blue Rose respectively. The Sawed-Off Shotgun that appears in every game in the series earns the name "Coyote-A" in the fourth game. |

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu plays it for laughs. Sousuke becomes the coach to the high school's rugby team, whose members are all of the Gentle Giant type, and takes them to the woods and puts them through The Spartan Way. In a Shout-Out to Full Metal Jacket, each member is given a rugby ball and told that they must love the rugby ball as a girlfriend. They all start to carefully clean the balls calling then foreign female names, in an absolutely creepy scene. | |

Marvel Universe: In The Awesome Slapstick, Slapstick calls his mallet Gertie. Cable & Deadpool: In one of the comics, Deadpool is in Rumekistan shooting people and his gun says "Deadpool's Gun" on it, with the little Deadpool emblem. So... well, he didn't really name it, but he did label it. In one of the issues, Cable has a BFG named after Liefeld, as an in-joke on the way Liefeld used to draw ridiculously giant guns. Captain America's shield seems to be named Shield in Steve's head. He loves that shield. He also once referred to it as "she", but when a rescued scientist asked about its name, Cap retorted, "Do you have a name for your right arm?" Naturally, the shield was lost at the end of the issue and later destroyed. It got better. Nuke, the drug-fueled Super-Soldier from Daredevil, had a BFG he called "Betsy", which had a kill counter. Warheads has Colonel Liger’s sentient gun, ‘Clementine’. |

In Dragon Age: Origins, Sten names his sword Asala (according to him it means 'soul'), which he sees as a part of himself, and actually murdered an entire family because he lost it. Note that they had not stolen it and he did not believe that they had, he simply went insane from grief (his religion really does consider the weapon to be part of him, and he has no way of legally returning home without it). When he recovered he turned himself in, and he's refusing food in a drawn-out suicide attempt when you meet him. Another example in Dragon Age would be in the DLC Witch Hunt, in which Finn has a staff named Vera. Dragon Age II gives us Varric, the dwarf rogue. He has a super-duper custom crossbow named Bianca, but he won't tell you where or how she got the name. The Legacy DLC reveals that Bianca is a unique repeating crossbow designed by a friend of his in the Carta. Apparently, Bianca is the only one that he has managed to get working. Retconned in Inquisition, as the real creator is Varric's ex-girlfriend, Bianca Davri. The discrepancy is explained in The World of Thedas, Vol. 2 as his Carta friend being the designer, but the spoilered character being the engineer who actually made the design work. In the Mark of the Assassin DLC, Tallis has a pair of daggers; she doesn't identify them by name in dialogue, but their Flavor Text shows that she calls them "Kathryn" and "Thane." The introduction of Item Crafting in Dragon Age: Inquisition allows this to be done to any weapon made by the player character. Also in Inquisition, Samson's sword is named "Certainty." |

In Pathfinder, artifact-level weapons, as well as less powerful but culturally significant weapons, tend to have names. Examples include the Sinswords, seven swords from the ancient nation of Thassilon each named after their first wielder; the Draddeth Edge, a sentient mace that grants the wielder exceptional tactical knowledge; and every weapon wielded by an archfiend, like Apollyon's Usher of the Black Rain or Moloch's Ramithaine and Goreletch. | |

A variation: Elzam Branstein in Super Robot Wars usually calls whatever Humongous Mecha he's currently riding "Trombe", after his favorite horse. This includes the battleship Kurogane. Barbiel the Needle gave the An Ares its current name in Third Super Robot Wars Z: Tengoku-hen because Gun (like in Gunbuster and Gundam) was a thing used everywhere in his world and it makes him saaad. |

In Dungeons & Dragons most notable magic items are named, including weapons. Some of the more famous include the paladin blade Holy Avenger, the cursed sword Nine-Lives Slayer, and the soul-stealing axe Life-Drinker. Forgotten Realms canonically have few "swords +2": weapons of significant power are made for people of significant power and usually with specific purpose in mind — so they usually have names and stories. Salvatore's Drizzt books: Drizzt Do'Urden got two scimitars, Icingdeath and Twinkle. Wulfgar's war hammer, Aegis-fang, named by its maker; Cattie-brie's bow, Taulmaril the Heartseeker; and her sword, Khazid'hea (translated from Drow, 'Cutter'; although as a sentient sword, being named is justified). Similarly, Artemis Entreri eventually acquires the sentient sword Charon's Claw. Though never named in the novels, game rule information gives names to the twin longswords of Zaknafein, Drizzt's father: one is called Reaper, the other Reaver. As they are borderline epic in their abilities, and he was epic level, they no doubt earned their name. Averted with Enteri's dagger, which despite its impressive power, is only known by the rubies on it. That is enough. Violet Dawn / The Broken Isles campaign setting (d20) has feat "Named Weapon", which means that the character got the single "very special" bonded weapon; mechanically this gives +2 to attacks with it and -1 with anything else, including weapons of the same type. Replacing / changing the bonded weapon is rather hard. |

"Ol' Painless" a hunting rifle owned by Dave, president of the Republic of Dave, an homage to a couple of other guns of the same name. Not to mention the epitome of Boring, but Practical. The Terrible Shotgun, Smiling Jack's Combat Shotgun. The Gatling Laser "Vengeance" the Ripper Jack, both found in the Deathclaw Sanctuary. |

Reba and Reba II are in-universe examples carried by Barney Rook, a gunsmith who hunts Mirelurks in Salem for a living, he sees the Rebas as sisters and should you helped him, he gifts you Reba II. |

In Farscape, John Crichton names his most reliable pulse pistol "Winona". It gets to the point where if Winona misfires he automatically assumes it's because he didn't properly maintain her (which, as any gun enthusiast can probably tell you, isn't that unreasonable a belief). A lampshade is hung about this at one point in the episode "John Quixote": "That's a nice sword... You should give it a name, like 'Cameron' or 'Uma'." It also becomes a recurring joke that Winona is the ONLY pulse pistol John uses that doesn't jam or otherwise fail him during a gunfight to the point where when it apparently ran out of shots on him he correctly guesses he'd accidentally grabbed a different gun because "Winona wouldn't do this to me because she's very reliable." |

In the Rhapsody series of books, Elizabeth Haydon has Grunthor — a giant Bolg — who names all of his weapons, because he says it makes them work better. With the exception of "Friendmaker," a huge polearm that gets its name because "When people see it, they'd much rather be my friend than my enemy," most of his weapons are named after various prostitutes he's known. | |

In Max Payne, two mooks discuss the tendency of their more intense co-workers to name their guns. One mook sheepishly admits he too named his gun. In a possible subversion, he didn't give it a girly name but instead named it 'Dick Justice'. The other mooks also point out how weird it is to name your weapon. | |

Neopets: An NPC in Neoquest II, a Game Within a Game, has a sword named Vera. His cowboy-like speech patterns (which he shares with no other character in the game) and the fact that there are several self-proclaimed Browncoats on the Neopets staff suggest that this is a direct Shout-Out. | |

Guts in Berserk has his sword, the Dragon Slayer. This wouldn't count except that there are no dragons in the Berserk universe (unless you count Grunbeld in Apostle form); the sword was merely designed so that it could slay one if there were. Later chapters showed a dragon sitting on a castle tower, so the Dragon Slayer might eventually come to earn its name. | |

Played for laughs in The Rundown, wherein Travis attempts to intimidate his foes by implying phenomenal martial arts skills by wriggling his feet, first one, then the other, while telling them that the one is called Thunder and the Other is Lightning. In reality, he's trying to intimidate them enough that they won't fight him because he doesn't know any martial arts at all. | |

Halo: One of the marines in Halo 3 is voiced by Adam Baldwin; the actor who played Jayne in Firefly. In a Shout-Out to Firefly, he will occasionally yell "Say hello to Vera!" during combat. As well as "Me and Vera have a little life-lesson for ya'!" Edward Buck's personal magnum is named "Whispered Truth". Played with by Kelly-087. Her self-customized shotgun is named "Oathsworn", but she's actually had several such guns; every time one "Oathsworn" becomes unusable for whatever reason, she simply gets another one. |

Zaeed Massani from Mass Effect 2 carries a worn-out old rifle around with him affectionately named "Jessie", although he was forced to retire it about five years beforehand when it was damaged beyond repair. Zaeed's essentially a walking Firefly Shout-Out. However, in Mass Effect 3, Shepard can learn that Zaeed has custom-ordered replacement parts to repair Jessie and carry her in the war against the Reapers. | |

A staple of the Fallout series is the named unique weapons, ranging from the typical Names to Run Away from Really Fast to matter-of-fact-descriptors or women's names. Fallout 2 has "Little Jesus", a Combat Knife owned by Lil' Jesus Mordino. Fallout 3: Brick of Reilly's Rangers introduces her minigun as "Eugene", in a southern drawl no less. "Ol' Painless" a hunting rifle owned by Dave, president of the Republic of Dave, an homage to a couple of other guns of the same name. Not to mention the epitome of Boring, but Practical. The Terrible Shotgun, Smiling Jack's Combat Shotgun. The Gatling Laser "Vengeance" the Ripper Jack, both found in the Deathclaw Sanctuary. Fallout: New Vegas: From the base game: "That Gun"note short for "That Gun From Fallout 2"; the non-unique .223 Pistol came with DLC later, Pew-Pewnote laser pistol, Knock-Knocknote pulaski/fire axe, Pushynote displacer glove, Luckynote .357 Revolver, Marianote Benny's 9mm pistol, This Machinenote Battle Rifle, though like That Gun above the base version wasn't in the game proper until DLC, Dinner Bellnote Hunting Shotgun obtained by completing "Bleed Me Dry" for Red Lucy in The Thorn, Annabellenote missile launcher, All-Americannote Marksman Carbine, La Longue Carabinenote Corporal Sterling's cowboy repeater, Ratslayernote varmit rifle, and a multitude other weapons to be found (or stolen) in the Mojave. The Gun Runner's Arsenal expansion pack adds Esthernote a modified Fat Man, Medicine Sticknote Brush Gun, The Nuka Breakernote a huge club made from a Nuka-Cola sign, Greased Lightningnote a modified Power Fist, Sleepytymenote a powerful suppressed 9mm SMG, Sprtel-Wood 9700note a Super Prototype to the Gatling Lasers, Li'l Devilnote a cleaned up and shortened 12.7mm pistol, The Smitty Specialnote a heavily modified Winchester P94 plasma caster, Two-Step Goodbyenote a ballistic fist with contact-triggered explosives, the Embrace of the Mantis King!note a mantis gauntlet made with a much deadlier forearm, Gehennanote a shishkebab with a bright yellow flame, the Cleansing Flamenote a Flamer with a bright blue flame, and Paciencianote an old Mexican hunting rifle tied with an old world flag at the butt. Honest Hearts has Joshua Graham's "A Light Shining in Darkness" and the Survivalist's Rifle note A Service Rifle chambered with 12.7mm ammo and used during the U.S.-Canadian Conflict by Randal Clark, the Survivalist. Old World Blues has FIDO, the bigger and meaner upgrade to the K9000 cyberdog gun. Lonesome Road has Ulysses's "Old Glory" flag pole/quarterstaff, the Red Glare rocket launcher, and your "Fist of Rawr", or alternatively with the Wild Wasteland trait, Fist of the North Rawr. Fallout 4 now allows you to give your own names to any gun (along with melee weapons and most armor pieces) in your possession. Reba and Reba II are in-universe examples carried by Barney Rook, a gunsmith who hunts Mirelurks in Salem for a living, he sees the Rebas as sisters and should you helped him, he gifts you Reba II. Fallout Shelter has the Henrietta, a unique lever action rifle carried by the Old Longfellow, his Fallout 4 counterpart didn't give a name to his rifle, however. |

Mass Effect: Zaeed Massani from Mass Effect 2 carries a worn-out old rifle around with him affectionately named "Jessie", although he was forced to retire it about five years beforehand when it was damaged beyond repair. Zaeed's essentially a walking Firefly Shout-Out. However, in Mass Effect 3, Shepard can learn that Zaeed has custom-ordered replacement parts to repair Jessie and carry her in the war against the Reapers. There is also Tali's non-sentient combat drone, Chikktika vas Paus, whom she shouts encouragement and advice to in combat, and praises after the fighting's done. |

B.B. King names each of his guitars Lucille. According to King, early in his career, a fight broke out in the club he was playing at. This fight quickly got out of hand, the aggressors knocked over an improvised kerosene heater, and a fire started. Naturally, everyone immediately ran out, but King had left his guitar behind in his haste. Realizing that he couldn't afford to replace it, he reentered the burning club and retrieved his instrument. When he learned that the fight had started over a woman named Lucille, King decided to name all of his guitars in the future "Lucille", "to remind myself never to be that stupid again." Several guitars have had the name, including a signature model with the name. King also famously refuses to ship Lucille in a plane's cargo hold; he buys two seat tickets. One for him and one for Lucille. This is likely why a number of examples on this page (such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air above) use Lucille for their named weapons as well. |

Ironsworn: Starforged has the Gunner asset, for characters who prefer heavy ranged personal weapons; upgrading the asset unlocks the ability to name your favorite gun, and subsequently gain bonuses for using it in combat. Given the setting, it's likely a reference to the Trope Namer. | |

All the customized weapons Bayonetta gets at The Gates of Hell are named. In most cases, it's a result of Rodin making them out of demons' souls, so one assumes they share the names of the demons in question, but her four-piece handgun sets have no such excuse: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme (collectively known as Scarborough Fair note Named after the song of the same name, specifically the Simon & Garfunkel version that appeared on the album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme) in Bayo 1; Prelude, Minuet, Toccata, and Nocturne (collectively known as Love is Blue note Named after the song of the same name) in Bayo 2. | |

Her fellow police officers are quite dismayed by her naming choice and her loving devotion to her mecha. It's what she's named all her childhood pets. Labor Alphonse is Alphonse III, with the first two being her cat and dog. | |

Star Wars: The Old Republic gives us Corso Riggs, the Smuggler's first companion, who has no less than six named weapons (and provides Description Porn for most!): a deluxe heavy blaster (which gets stolen by Skavak) named "Torchy," a customizable blaster (which he gives to the Player Character) named "Flashy," another blaster pistol offered to the Player Character later named "Sparkles," a blaster rifle named "Sergeant Boom Boom," a blaster pistol named "Sparky," and a vibroblade named "Hewie". Which goes to show that he is a Giver of Lame Names. Invoked during a conversation between the Sith Inquisitor and Andronikos Revel, where the latter averts this trope, claiming the reason he doesn't give his weapons names is because he's afraid he might get too attached to them. Additionally, in Knights of the Fallen Empire Vette picks up an assault cannon that she names "Spewie" |

Justified in Gundam SEED where all the Gundams are treated (or at least labeled) as Prototypes, and their names are likely intended to be the official name of that series. Of course, with the exception of the Strike, Duel, Buster, and the Astray Red Frame, none of the other Gundam designs are mass-produced, though some of the others get (very) limited-production derivatives. | |

Chang Wufei of Gundam Wing is particularly notable, in that he gave both his Mobile Suits an additional, personal name after his dead wife, besides its official one. In fact, he uses it so often that some fans think that "Nataku" is the mobile suit's actual name, rather than Shenlong (original MS) or Altron (upgraded MS). | |

Knights of the Dinner Table: Bob Hertzog names pretty much every single one of his (numerous) dice. At least, every die that has stood out in some manner. Knowing the behavior of rather hardcore gamers, this probably isn't too much of an exaggeration from real life. In the Spacehack back-up strip, the security officer had a BFG he called "Suzy". |

In Saberhagen's Book of Swords series, the swords have names, though this is more a case of Named Weapons since the names are not personal nicknames but were given by their creator (the god Vulcan) before distributing them throughout the world. | |

Murdoch Mysteries: A replacement for missing Detective Murdoch is a tough detective who calls his gun Betsy. Not to be confused with his dog Betty. In the Fish out of Temporal Water Spin-Off The Murdoch Effect, Present Day Crabtree calls his gun "Aunt Daisy", a parody of 1900s Crabtree's large number of florally named aunts. |

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Percy's sword is named Riptide. Luke's sword (actually Kronos' scythe) is named Backbiter. Parodied with Clarisse's second spear, Maimer, which everyone jokingly calls "Lamer". In the Norse spin-off series, Magnus's sword is called Sumarbrander. However, the sword is revealed to be sentient, and tells Magnus that it's not a fan of the name. Magnus names it Jack instead. |

Gundam is all up in this trope. Every single Gundam has its own unique name, and a ton of the weapons get names in the profile pages. In Gundam 00, Graham Aker (AKA Mister Bushido) named the beam katana wielded by his mobile suit Masurao "Howard" and "Daryl" in honor of his former wingmen. Modern Vehicles do all have official names (Abrahms, Osprey, Blackhawk, etc.) and the mass-production MS are named similarly. Gundams just happen to be unique custom high-performance units with a unique name. Justified in Gundam SEED where all the Gundams are treated (or at least labeled) as Prototypes, and their names are likely intended to be the official name of that series. Of course, with the exception of the Strike, Duel, Buster, and the Astray Red Frame, none of the other Gundam designs are mass-produced, though some of the others get (very) limited-production derivatives. Chang Wufei of Gundam Wing is particularly notable, in that he gave both his Mobile Suits an additional, personal name after his dead wife, besides its official one. In fact, he uses it so often that some fans think that "Nataku" is the mobile suit's actual name, rather than Shenlong (original MS) or Altron (upgraded MS). |

Red vs. Blue: We have the Blue Team's Tank named "Sheila". Although that's not the name of the tank, it's the name of the AI that runs the tutorial program. Grif calls his Brute Shot "The Grif Shot". In season 11, Caboose finds a giant MANTIS robot that he calls "Freckles" (for the spots on its nose). After Freckles is irreparably damaged, Freckles' AI chip is loaded into Caboose's rifle in season 12. This results in Caboose calling his rifle Freckles. |

While most guns in PAYDAY 2 get the A.K.A.-47 treatment, a select few get Vera-esque names, like the double-barrelled Joceline. Once you own a gun you can also give it another name; it's ostensibly supposed to be for telling differently-modified versions of the same weapon apart from one another at a glance, since the names are only visible to you in your inventory before a heist, but you can give a gun whatever name you want. | |

Somewhat subverted but mostly played straight in her Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms series, where having a named weapon (say, Galgraling the Wyrm Slayer) will invoke Tradition (the ambient magic in the land) and give you an advantage should you meet an actual Wyrm. Champions, however, do not name their swords — they can make any blade magical. | |

Bob's Burgers: The slumber party episode reveals that, as weapons in pillow fights, the Belcher kids have dubbed their parents' memory foam pillows "Fat Man" and "Little Boy". In addition, as part of Bob's habit of talking to inanimate objects, he does occasionally name them. In "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal", he names the turkey Lance. | |

In Tunnel in the Sky both the main protagonist and his sister have foot-long Bowie-knives that they've named. The sister's is "Lady Macbeth". The protagonist's knife is called Colonel Bowie, showing an unfortunate lack of creativity on his part. A more creative example is a knife called "Occam's Razor." | |

Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire: Buck Godot calls his pistol "Junior". A distinctly imposing rifle with "Senior" inscribed on its side is also shown to be in his possession, although if there's ever been a situation where Junior wasn't sufficient, we haven't seen it yet. Smith and Wesson, a pair of entirely sentient A.I. zap guns belonging to a Space Pirate who goes by the name "the Pistol Packin' Polaris Packrat". They also call Buck's pistol "Junior." It's probably the gun's actual name, although it isn't an A.I. and therefore doesn't talk (or if it is, it doesn't have much to say. Well, other than ZOWNT). |

A Song of Ice and Fire often uses Named Weapons instead of this trope, particularly with the ancestral weapons (usually made of rare and prized Valyrian steel) owned by great houses. However Arya Stark's fencing blade given as a gift by her bastard brother has no name, so she calls it Needle, due to its long thing blade and also as a joke on Arya's ineptness with actual needles. | |

In Fate/Zero, all of Gilgamesh's innumerable weapons are famous Infinity+1 Swords, except one; the prototype, old enough that it predates the very concept of "sword," which has no name. Gil refers to it as Ea. It is not called "Enuma Elish,'' that is just the activation phrase for its Sword Beam. Gilgamesh also wields the chain that he had used to bind the Bull of Heaven, which he named Enkidu after his deceased best friend. | |

The DCU: Artemis likes to name her weapons if they're not already named when she gets them. For instance, she named her battle axe Mistress. In DC Comics Bombshells, Renee Montoya uses a rifle she named Sadie. In Ms. Tree, Dan Green nicknames his Hook Hand "Nellie". In Suicide Squad, Briscoe nicknames the team's helicopter gunship 'Sheba'. After his dead daughter. In Swamp Thing, when the plant-human hybrid the Floronic Man goes on a homicidal rampage in Louisiana, a Houma resident attempts to cut him down with his chainsaw, nicknamed "Evangeline." The Dragunov sniper rifle of Natalya Zamyatin from Y: The Last Man is named Rodya, after her husband killed in the plague. |

Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society and Ozzy Osbourne has a bunch of these. His white and black bullseye Gibson Les Paul Custom is The Grail. His red-on-natural bullseye Les Paul Standard is Red. His Confederate flag Les Paul Custom is The Rebel (his guitar tech has another name for it, The Tetanus Special, thanks to the large number of rusty bottle caps nailed to it). His black and green camouflage bullseye Les Paul Custom is Stormin' Norman. His orange and black spiral pattern Les Paul Custom is The Buzzsaw. And to top it off, Gibson gave him a few guitars from early on in his signature guitar run and he named them after Yankees based on their serial numbers. Number 15 is Thurman Munson, Number 4 is Lou Gehrig and Number 5 is Joe DiMaggio. | |

Lady Death: In the Chaos contiuinty, Lady Death's original sword "Darkness" was forged by the Cremator. She later gained a new one named "Nightmare" which was forged by the Asgardian Brock to defeat Genocide and a third sword named "Apocalypse" which was forged from pure chaos by Cremator. She also had a Morph Weapon that could change between a sword and a chain with a scythe blade at the end called "Scynister". In the CrossGen continuity, she has a sword called "Blackheart" which was created from melting down Brimstone and Challenger, the swords of her father Tvanus and her mentor Wolfram. In the Avatar continuity, she uses a sword named Deathbringer which was specifically created to channel her power. After Deathbringer is destroyed, she gains a new sword called Apocalypse from the ruined city of Pallodyn. In the Coffin continuity, which is a sequel/reboot of the Chaos continuity, Lady Death gains a new sword called Chaos which can send anyone to oblivion. |

Game of Thrones: The ancestral greatsword of House Stark is called "Ice". Arya Stark's castle-forged Cool Sword "Needle", a gift from her brother Jon Snow, and she gets very pissed off when it gets confiscated by Lannister men. She retrieves it later in the story. Lord Jon Snow receives the sword "Longclaw" after saving Lord Commander Mormont's life. Boisterous Weakling Joffrey Baratheon chooses pompous names like "Hearteater" and "Widow's Wail" (his Valyrian sword) for his swords. Joffrey boasts that once Stannis attacks King's Landing, he'll cut him a smile with Hearteater and even forces Sansa to kiss the blade for luck. Naturally, it never gets drawn during the battle. In the books, Joffrey giving his swords ridiculously grandiose names is something of a running gag, and the one Arya threw in the river was called Lion's Tooth. Brienne names the sword Jaime gives her "Oathkeeper." The Hound disapproves of this practice. House of the Dragon has Blackfyre (wielded by King Viserys) and Dark Sister (wielded by Daemon Targaryen). Both are made of Valyrian steel. |

In Deep Rock Galactic, the dwarves tend to have affectionate nicknames for the various robots they work with. The M.U.L.E. is Molly, the Drilldozer is Doretta/Dotty, and the All-Purpose Drone is Bosco, just to name a few. The upper management at DRG strongly discourages this behavior, but the dwarves insist on doing it anyway, and even the Mission Control occasionally slips up by referring to the M.U.L.E. as Molly. | |

In Uplifted, Tank Commander Dieter Hertzer affectionately calls his Tiger Prototype "Sigrid". Sigrid is later sacrificed, causing Hetzer to shed some tears. In the next fic, it's revealed that Rommel assigned him a New Tiger, which is called 'Sigrid II'. This is not so much out of the goodness of Rommel's heart, but because he has no use for clunky over-engineered tanks. | |

Critical Role: Percy has named his three weapons The List, Bad News, and Diplomacy. After The List is dissolved in acid, he builds a new pistol which he names "Retort". Vax calls his belt — which can transform into a snake — "Simon". Nott from the second campaign eventually designs an improvised explosive, which she names Fluffernutter. Because bombs are a one-use-only kind of weapon, there have been many iterations of Fluffernutter throughout the campaign. Dagen, the Mighty Nein's guide through Eisselcross, has a battleaxe named Sheila. |

Sigmar's warhammer, from which Warhammer takes its name, is named Ghal-Maraz (Skull-splitter in Khazalid). The game's second most famous weapons, the twelve swords forged for the rulers of what became the Empire's provinces, are something of an aversion, being known simply as "The (Name of Province) Runefang". A great many other examples exist in the setting. A lot of Chaos weapons tend to have names in Black Speech, not so much as a nickname, but because a daemon of that name is literally bound into the blade and will probably suck your soul out through your hand if you don't treat it with respect. |

Every character in Exit Fate has a personal weapon (you employ blacksmiths to upgrade the weapon rather than trading up), and while some have simple, descriptive names (hatchet, red pen, handbag) many are named poetically and/or after people. The amnesiac former assassin Frore named his blade "Kella" after his friend/lover/companion/rival/? (They both lost parts of their memories, so neither is fully certain how they relate.) | |

Heavy Weapons Guy from Team Fortress 2 calls his eponymous heavy weapon "Sasha". See this trope in full galore in Meet the Heavy. Additionally, Valve has introduced a second Heavy unlockable weapon: an alternate minigun by the name of "Natascha". Check out her guns (the others have special names for many of their weapons, too, but those are more on the level of model names, as opposed to individuals). Mocked by The Scout who, if he manages to dominate a Heavy player, will sometimes taunt "I think I'll take Sasha out for a steak dinner tonight. What d'ya think of that?" The Sniper's kukri knife is named "Sharpy", though he treats this name as a one-off joke. Players can do this too, with the addition of Name Tags, a one-use item, from the Mann Co. store. Use it, and you can call any item in your inventory anything you want! "Vera" has predictably become one of the more common names. As revealed in the tie-in comic "The Showdown", the Heavy has named all of his unlockable Miniguns: in addition to the aforementioned Sasha and Natasha, he refers to the Tomislav as "Svetlana", the Brass Beast as "Oksana", and the Huo-Long Heater as "Sheila". |

Campfire Stories: Zach mentions that back in the Army he has named his rifle Piper, not after anyone in particular, but because everyone else was naming their rifles after their wives/girlfriends and he wanted to join in the fun. Mike then jokes he named his rifle after its serial number. | |

Minecraft's weapon-naming system is similar to that of Skyrim, allowing the player to spend experience levels that would otherwise be spent on imbuing weapons (and other items) with actual enchantments in order to give them in-game names. Not a complete waste as this does prevent the cost of anvil-ing the weapon from increasing with each go on said anvil, however. Apart from the increase from naming it in the first place that is. | |

SMPLive: Cooper's sword is named "DAD". A variant with a tool instead of a weapon, but Connor's pickaxe is named "Ice Fucker 3000", in reference to his ice shop at Spawn. All of Poke's axes are named "asspenis". Joko has his bow, which is named "Bustdown Thottiamnn bustodwn", and his sword, named "7.7 INCHES". CaptainSparklez's sword is named "The Demonetizor". |

Played with in Sands of Destruction. Morte's starting weapon is The Nameless Blade, but she's definitely the craziest of your team members. It's just that the smith who forged her sword didn't give it a name, so she never bothered coming up with one, either. If you find him, he'll ask you to give him the sword because he now sees it as an Old Shame and offers to make a new one if you can bring him the materials. This sword just ends up being named the Zephyr Blade, as it's a wind element weapon; apparently he's not a very creative dude (and all Morte cares is that her sword can destroy things, not what it's called). Everyone's respective Infinity +1 Sword (or gun or whip or whatever) has a name, however it's more likely a case of Named Weapons. | |

The Call of Duty series assigns callsigns to many of its vehicles, which you can see by looking in their general direction. Some are dynamically assigned from a pool of names while others are worked into the plot. Call of Duty 2 has some dynamically named tanks called names such as "Hole In One", "Queen of Diamonds", etc. Call of Duty 3 features a Jeep affectionately named Vera with a twin named Lynn. Modern Warfare has a couple of levels revolving around escorting a tank named "War Pig" out of danger. Modern Warfare 2 features some neighborhood clearing with a Stryker Armored Vehicle named "Honey Badger." In addition, many vehicles in the Afghanistan convoy are named - including "Curb Stomper", "Punta Gorda", and bridge-layer "Bigfoot." Black Ops's cover shows that Mason's Colt M1911 is called "Sally". In the Zombies mode, upgrading it pairs it with a second pistol named "Mustang" that shoots grenades. This is actually one of three sets of "woman's name for first gun/matching adjective for second gun" sets in Zombies: the others are "Jane"/"Calamity" and "Mary"/"Typhoid". In multiplayer, players can scratch a clantag onto the side of their guns, allowing you to actually name your gun "Vera" if you so choose. |

Non-weapon example: In Survival of the Fittest, Cody Jenson names the motorcycle he finds "Loretta", and apparently falls in love with it as the game goes on. In v4, Roland Harte names his kris Charlene, as a Shout-Out to Full Metal Jacket. Meanwhile, within the same thread as Roland, Isabel Guerra names her trumpet / shiv Partario. In v5, we have Kiki, Joey Caputo's kukri knife, and Kyoko, Miranda Millers' war spear. |

EVE Online always starts the ship name as <Player Character>'s <ship name>. You have the option to change it. Depending on what you do this may be important to you or not. If you're in RVB, naming ships is generally pointless as you'll probably lose in 5 minutes anyway. This has led to people doing interesting things such as naming the combat ship Primary——> or Don't Shoot Me. Among other more colorful names. | |

Several of the champions from League of Legends have affectionate names for their weapons. Jinx names her minigun Pow-Pow and her shark-shaped rocket launcher Fishbones. Miss Fortune refers to her dual blunderbuss pistols as Shock and Awe. Graves liberally used a huge shotgun which he named Destiny. After it was destroyed during an especially drastic status quo change, he picked up a new one, appropriately called New Destiny. Jhin carries a massive four-round revolver he calls Whisper. Subverted with Ornn. The Ultimate Blacksmith doesn't name his creations - he makes so many things, after all - with the exception of his hammer, which was forged from the starmetal he was given by the Three Sisters to build the Howling Abyss bridge, and is important enough to him that it does merit a name. Ornn being a direct and taciturn sort, not much given to flights of fancy or poetic phrasing, he named his hammer "Hammer." |

From Assassin's Creed II, as soon as Bartolomeo gets back to his home after being freed from prison by Ezio, he goes around the thrashed place looking for "Bianca", who turns out to be a claymore. Referenced in Brotherhood, where he starts searching for Pantasilea and Ezio asks if he looked behind the table. Then it turns out Pantasilea is Bartolomeo's wifenote And decidedly not another weapon, much to Ezio's shock. |

In XCOM: RWBY Within, addition to the team's canon weapons, Ruby names Colonel Zhang's revolver from when his Triad enforcer days "Aureate Mercy" after he ends up in hospital after using it to distract an Ethereal that was using its powers to cause so much pain that most of the strike team couldn't stand. In the epilogue, following his death defending the labs, it is given to Ruby to remember him. In the sequel, when Weiss gifts Anette Durand a master-crafted Atlesian form-shifting weapon, she's encouraged to choose an appropriate name for it as part of cross-training as a Huntress. | |

Dragon Age II gives us Varric, the dwarf rogue. He has a super-duper custom crossbow named Bianca, but he won't tell you where or how she got the name. The Legacy DLC reveals that Bianca is a unique repeating crossbow designed by a friend of his in the Carta. Apparently, Bianca is the only one that he has managed to get working. Retconned in Inquisition, as the real creator is Varric's ex-girlfriend, Bianca Davri. The discrepancy is explained in The World of Thedas, Vol. 2 as his Carta friend being the designer, but the spoilered character being the engineer who actually made the design work. |

In The Riftwar Cycle, there's a throwaway line about the type of crossbow used by the Hadati hill people, which is called the Bessie Mauler. No one's quite sure why it's named after Bessie, but it's certainly a mauler. They're normally used to hunt wyverns, the smaller, less fire-breathing-y cousins of dragons. You'd expect some other named weapons in a fantasy series, but if any have names, they're never mentioned. | |

The Bazil Broketail series seems to take the military training route; humans don't name any of their weapons, but nearly every dragon soldier seems to have named their personal blade, whether or not it's enchanted. Bazil's original dragon sword was named Piocar. After losing it in the first novel's finale, he was given another, more powerful sword called Ecator. Kepabar wielded a dragon sword called Gingle. Necessitas' dragon sword was named Mercuri. Vlok wields a sword named "Katzbalger". Burthong's dragon sword is named Herak. Alsebra's sword is called "Undaunt". It is described as quite small for a dragon sword, but beautifully crafted. Chektor and Purple-Green are some of the few named dragons to avert this trope, using an unnamed, standard-issue blade instead of a unique sword made for him. |

The trope is named for Jayne's very favorite gun from Firefly. It has extreme sentimental value. The fact that he views his own proposal to swap it for Mal's "wife" in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" as theft is pretty telling. "Vera" itself is an Izhmash Saiga-12 conversion originally built for the movie Showtime. The fact that he snuggles up with his gun instead of a real woman in "Heart of Gold" is pretty telling. In one interview, Adam Baldwin, Jayne's actor, stated that Jayne's knife is named "Binky" and his pistol "Boo", though neither name is used in the series proper, probably because the series got canceled before he got around to letting others know. |

Cyberpunk 2077 has something like 20 or 30 Named Weapons, but one that arguably counts as a Vera is Skippy. There's even a quest that involves returning Skippy to his rightful owner, who is overjoyed to learn that you have found him. Depending on the choices you make in-game, she can rename him Daisy upon return. Skippy is also a Talking Weapon with many memorable quotes, such as "According to traditional Christian doctrine, you are going to burn in Hell" and "Bad user! Bad user!" | |

In Primeval, Danny reveals he has a club named "Molly". Makes sense, as Danny was stranded in the Pleistocene Epoch with no human company (at least, no human company capable of understanding English or even intelligent enough to hold a conversation) and spent six months being hunted by phorusrachids. He almost took it to Companion Cube levels. | |

In an episode of How I Met Your Mother, Ted offers to make Sandy Rivers (who had been embarrassing Robin at work) listen to "Common Sense" and "Reasonable Discourse". When Robin asks Ted if those are his fists, he replies that they're his feet. Ted's a kicker. "The Limo" gives us Not-Moby's gun which he refers to as "Janice". |

Macready of Creature Court gives feminine names to all four of his blades (two swords and two knives) and refers to them as his "lasses". It's a minor plot point that when two of them are destroyed during the dust devils' attack, he doesn't name the new blades. Kelpie calls her swords and knives her "Sisters" and "Nieces", respectively. |

Captain America's shield seems to be named Shield in Steve's head. He loves that shield. He also once referred to it as "she", but when a rescued scientist asked about its name, Cap retorted, "Do you have a name for your right arm?" Naturally, the shield was lost at the end of the issue and later destroyed. It got better. | |
