What's in a name?

So here’s the thing-I have just bought a bike (Boardman, sorry lbs fans but I’m a slave to the high street). My problem is do I name her(is she even a she?)? If so what’s the etiquette? Do I wait until I’ve formed a proper relationship, maybe done my first tri on her(a way off yet)? I get the impression naming your bike is not solely a female trait, noticing both Messers Conehead and Firestarter’s machines having suitably macho titles.
So I suppose the real question-is what’s yours called?

You should name her strait away, it would be rude to ride her without at least being on first name terms.
Mine is called Keirra.
my old bike was claudia.
The new is the arianna "the animal"
She loves ripping bikes to pieces....
They say that by going to Triathlons you meet like minded people. This worries me.
Have opted to a flexible approach based on most posts but incorporating kidstardust's style.
Up unitl the first tri she'll be Corporal Marjory but has the possiblity of promotion (or court marshall) dependent on results...
He's arriving this week I hope.
With the help of BlinkyBaz (you still around mate?), I made the change to Red Kev, and he's much happier with it.
Just to be ironic however I've named mine The Beast.
It is not always how you name it but what the name means to you. Mine is called flossie and she is great! She is black silver and the irontic thing is she has Viking written on the diagnal tube.
She loves when I call her name as we charge down hills and burn up them.
Give your steed a name dude. If you need any help you only have to ask. Nameing takes in all areas of the bike like colour make age add on extras!!!!!!
...only had my new road bike for 6 weeks, it's female but hasn't earnt a name yet even after lots of staring/stroking/cleaning after each ride...i'm sure it will jump out at me soon...
