How many people name there steels? My daughter keeps calling my new Fessenden "Bessie" (as in, "Bessie the Fessy"). Not sure how I feel about naming it (her?) My wife is already jealous of how much time I spend playing steel; identifying my steel as another "woman" might not help.

..Even the Hunchback of Notre Dame named the bells but if I had been Victor Hugo I would have called them "the big bell, the bigger bell, and the really big bell"...I guess I'm like b0b..mine are "The Bolt-On", "The Rosewood", and "The BMI"...at home I refer to our dog as "the dog".
