Admittedly, I'm kind of a weird guy. I was happy to read on a ukulele forum a few months ago that there are others that do this same thing - name their ukuleles. So I'm not THAT weird, right?
So why do I name my ukuleles? I don't know...why not? People give names to all sorts of inanimate objects. Cars come to mind. How many of us named our first car? Naming your ukulele(s) isn't any different. In a strange way it gives you more of a connection to your instrument. So go for it! Give 'em a name and embrace your inner geek! Here's what I named some of my ukes...
Kamoa E3 Pineapple - "moe moe"
1950's Favilla Soprano - "Flava Fav"
1920's Slingerland banjo ukulele - "Slingy" aka "jo jo"
Lanikai LU-21 Concert - "Lenny"
What names have you bestowed upon your beloved ukuleles? Comment below and let us know!
I also have a Lanikai LU-21 Concert! It was my firs 'uke, and I named it Hiapo - which means "first-born" in Hawaiian
ReplyDeleteI recently was gifted this beautiful black and orange ukulele. Named it Ember.
DeleteI have a soprano and I named it Basil. Originally I was looking for 'little and beautiful' meaning names but once I saw it I knew that was the one. Maybe my next will be Olive, or Sage?
ReplyDeleteYou could call it Baz for short :)
