I finally own my trombone free and clear but I don't have a name for it!
I know that it identifies with a male name... (As strange as that sounds...)
Then, there's my Contra Bass Clarinet that needs a name. Something old... Like a name in the 1920's... Like Bertha...

HELP ME?!
Pretty please?

hey, lafayette, it reminds me of 'to kill a mockingbird'. that was Mrs Dubose's middle name. it is really quite awesome though.

harold is a good name also.

my trombone is called arthur... after the mythical king of the same name...
so maybe you could call your trombone richard? and they could be king-brothers.

and as for the contra-bass... how about trudie?

Personally, I just named my silver marching baritone Lucifer. XD

Anywho...here's some ideas (some of which I've seen/heard of, others being names I like)

Damien
Bob
Figleaf (don't ask...google image...maybe add statue if you don't see any...my friend actually named her trombone this...*ashamed*)
Jasper (actually my euphonium's name ^_^)
Figaro
Hidalgo note that it's also a great flugel name)
Cisaro
Cap'n (^_^)
Cap'n Jack (my best low brass buddy actually named his trombone this after hearing the song Captain Jack by Billy Joel...)
Phlegm (affectionate name for this one girl's trombone; she always hacked up leugies into it... XP)
Fandango
Honk (don't ask...)

Want more? Just pm me! ^_^

Meerph! I love naming instruments. I, too, am a bo**r, however badly I play, so I'll give it a shot. For the trombone, Tristan. lol I name with the first letter of the instrument.

Clarinet... BAINE CHRISTOFF! lol
