HaHa, I thought that I was the only weird guy whose guitars have names...

Mine is called Caecilia (Cecile in English). It's kind of an odd name in Germany, but the name comes from the patron saint for musicians.

People like it that she has a name.

Mmmmm, but how do you know she'll be a Flora? - maybe you'll get her and say 'no she just doesn't look like a Flora'

@gerundino - love the name mariposa - that's lovely!

Names for your guitars?? he he.
I suppose next you'll all be buying them little suits or hats.

Perhaps we should talk to our guitars too???
I remember some stories about Prince Charles talking to his plants to help them grow and develop better. I'm gonna start talking to my guitar perhaps It'll keep compas better?

Come to think of it, I'm kinda known for sleeping with my guitar

only side by side. No funny business mind.

I have a case for her, a special towel to clean her after playing, oil to protect the fingerboard, even a cable lock for hollidays and when I have to leave her a while in the trunck.
Take her to the beach to play with, to restaurants, to parties.
Even give lessons with her, so what is so silly with a name....huh?

Yes, I am married..

RE: names for guitars (in reply to Jim Opfer)

this is sad

but atlist can we atlist have some reasons why u arrived at that name

. Mibe i ve never liked my guitars enough to name em, mibe one day il have one that deserves a name.

quote:

Anyone care to give me inspiration?

for a female player to have a girl name defeats the purrpose I would think, so how about Barry ?

or perhaps something exotic .. Bruce

or something with a houmoros spin that John Martin...

just made me think of something ... what all the famous flamenco guitarists names would be if they were the same form but born in England or Australia .

Paul of Lucifer ?
Vince friend
litlle tomato
Jesus of Rosalie ?

Well that's debateable. Most men love bisexual women.

However this is completely off topic!

Why does it always come back to sex with you guys? Oh yeah, I started it.

OK, so we're discussing guitar names - Flo you are going to have a guitar worthy of a name - you're getting an Anders aren't you? That's going to deserve a name. I know - I've held one!

@Bogdan - yeah we're strange but it breaks up the boredom and it's harmless

Didn't you guys all guess I'm just trying to avoid a really tedious task at work? Hope my boss doesn't sign in or I'll be in trouble......

That's right Ailsa, I think the major purpose of every forum is just that - assist in spending time at work in most constructive and productive way.

We have status reports in our company, to indicate what you do on a daily basis. Always very tempting to say : from 11am to 2pm, responding to absurd messages on foroflamenco

RE: names for guitars (in reply to Bogdan1980)

It feels kinda inappropriate getting back on to the subject

.... but at the risk of having squashy tomatoes thrown at me, I like it when a really good guitars get named by the maker such as "la leona"(the lioness). If the maker recognises his/(her) instrument as being worthy of a name, it makes it more special.

Ask the maker to christen the instrument when you get it! If they have spent 5 weeks lovingly putting together your instrument for you, they are very involved with that instrument at the point of sale. I have seen luthiers kiss their babies goodbye.
BTW You cant call a guitar Bruce or Betsy. Those names are reserved for Fiat Pandas

My Manuel Diaz was christened "Inesperada" 'cos of the unusual way I ended up owning her and she will never be sold, although I havent slept with her yet.

Sorry to get off the subject of lesbians guys!!
