I'm not talking make and model here.
My road bike's named Ramone, it just made sense when I got him. He's a Spesh Allez.
My Meta has no name, I need to refer to him/her but feel reluctant to commit to a name. I feel once it's done, it's done; like a boat.
"The Kinesis"
"The Singlespeed"
"The Giant"
&
"The Inbred"
To my girlfriend they are known as The Green One and The Black One, to my mates they are known as The Identiti and The Iron Horse or Mr Hyde and Mk III.
Anthropomorphising inanimate objects is weird enough; but ascribing gender is, surely, a step too far.
Don't really go in for that sort of thing, but I did used to refer to my old Big Hit with an extra "S" in front of one of the words.
Didn't like it much.
My bikes are always called Judy.
(an ex called my old Giant MTB this because of the forks, and it stuck)
The shopper
The spesh
The On-one
The bouncy one maybe.
I call the car the bat mobile, as in "to the bat mobile.".
people who get their knickers in a twist over anthropomorphising inanimate objects are wierd..
in front of Mrs yunki my current bike is called Cheyenne..
in front of anyone else it's just my bike..
the steel. the Ti, the Fs, the 26er, the road bike
actual names, you is avvin a larf no?
The full suss
The hardtail
The commuter
The Ute
The ancient Dawes tourer
Her Rocky Mountain
Why would anyone name a bike?
"SLAG"...COME ON YOU SLAG, GET UP THIS HILL 
I’m all for anthropomorphising inanimate objects.
Florence 2. All black and gothy with ginger hair (orange bars).
Dr Shipman. Takes every opportunity available to try and kill me.
Mr Skidz. Fixie skidder.
Rihanna. Lots of junk in the trunk.
The singlespeed. It’s a singlespeed.
my road bike (or sometimes 'my Bianchi')
my cross bike
my 29er

"SLAG"...COME ON YOU SLAG, GET UP THIS HILL
Mine had a similar Christening... it's called
"F*&%£$g %^nt"
.... Its based on a Dickens Character.
Fellwig Munt
Wiiiiiiiiiilllllllmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
not bothered for a long time but I used to own a beryl.
My full suss is called Rosie, she's a Rose Jabba Wood and calling something Jabba is hurtful
Only one of mine has a name and that's because it's otherwise unbranded.
Can posters put their age and IQ please?
My bike’s called Barbie. What’s yours called?
Guapo
The Frog
Smellsworth
Pointless tangent: There's an old Renault Clio round the corner with "Dennis" written on the back in big homemade silver lettering.
I always like to think it's because the driver is called Dennis - but I suspect it's actually some teenage girl's first car.
My bike actually has a name from the Factory... Cos it's a Maverick!
It was Christened "Medusa" in the factory, and like all Mavericks, has its name engraved onto the headtube badge!
So there you go...
My other bikes are "The Genesis", "The Giant" and "The Road Bike" though... 
My road bike's named Ramone
Makes it sound like some sort of Rent boy;
“I’m just off out for a ride on Ramone”
I’d re-evaluate that name choice…
My own are at present:
White MTB
Black MTB
SS MTB
BMX
Road bike
But if we’re Anthropomorphising I’ll rename them:
-Mr Fidget
-Captain bumble
-Lord Hufanangle
-Twatty Jim
-Innate Feeling of self loathing…
Naming bicycles is a vapid, inane waste of time… so I’m all in favour.
"Twatty Jim"...
that's an interesting name, how did he come by his label?
Mine are called
Fat Front.
Fat Bike.
Sheep.
Grypho.
Paradox.
Shitting Dog.
Tandemonium.
And that other bike that doesn't get riden much.
Work Bike
Play Bike
My Blur is called Hilda after my grandmother who left me a small some of money with instructions to treat myself. It was my first "proper" mountain bike and I'll never part with it... Her... Whatever.
Ellsworth epiphany
Kona dr dew
Names FFS...!! 
My Hemlock's black and white and red all over so it's occasionally been Dead Penguin. But if you have to think about it, it's not a proper name, if one comes along and attaches itself then that's fine.
My boss called her bike Magenta because she wanted a bike of that colour but ended up with a black one.
Zinc. Because it's an 'Element 30'
My bike actually has a name from the Factory... Cos it's a Maverick!It was Christened "Medusa" in the factory, and like all Mavericks, has its name engraved onto the headtube badge!
My only bike with a name too....................Xavier
