Do you name your hats?

[marvelgoose]

My experience is that people who will name their hats also have names for their nether regions as well.

An essay from my humor website that discusses both hat naming and other naming.

 

[Mulceber]

Thanks Marvel, thanks. Now I've gotta go name that as well! lol lol lol -M

My Whippets...

Hughy and Dughy

Nice! Where's Louie? (Lughy?)

 

[davidwebb_uk]

My car, yes. My Camera, yes. My phone, yes. My ipod, yes. My hats, ummm no. Maybe it's just cos I'm only just starting to try out wearing hats and finding styles that suit me...

Maybe when i have to differentiate between hats of the same style I might.

My Whippets...

And shoey lol

 

[indycop]

But I dont think I will name one George or Roscoe.

Roscoe P. Coltrain wore a hat!

 

[Ordinary Guy]

I have NOT named my hats, but I have named the other...

As a matter of fact, he earned his name many years ago........

 

[Ordinary Guy]

And shoey lol

AWWW PHOOEY, I missed that in the pic....lol

This is the weirdest thread I've ever read, even more weird than that dead horse with the children poking it emoticom: :deadhorse

 

[Yeps]

Since Stetson Homburg has revived this, I will chime in. I don't name my hats with people names, but I have given a new model name to one: my St. Regis Special. I figured that I couldn't really call it a St. Regis anymore when it stopped being a homburg, but I couldn't really deny the fact that St. Regis was on the inside, so St. Regis Special it is.

I have a feeling that the more I customize hats (I am a very tinker oriented person) the more modified model names I will get.

My converted bailey will get one as soon as it has been made decent enough for me to like again. I have to build a block first.

 

[WideBrimm]

Name hats? You mean like naming pets? The idea has never occurred to me. Nah, I'll pass on this idea. Besides (like most people in the Lounge) I've got just too darned many hats. I'd go crazy

 

[Widebrim]

I second that, WideBrimm! lol

I named the hat in my avatar, the "Dingus" since its based on Bogart's Maltese Falcon hat. Otherwise I've gone with Art Fawcett's names for his hats, and none for the others.

I watched the Maltese Falcon a few months ago.. but I guess I missed that line cause I had to look up what your were talking about on google. I had no idea the word 'Dingus' came fron there.


I have not yet started naming hats, but I may have to now... this thread puts ideas in ones head.

 

[Dave E]

Nope, not so far! Mind you, I'm not prone to naming stuff in general.

 

[Dewhurst]

I tend to name certain possessions.

Now, at least, I know that we are all crazy together. I am not alone.

I'm just not sure how comforting it is to know that everyone is as bonkers as I am.

 

[Neophyte]

Our cats are named for the color of their fur (example: Black Cat, Grey Kitty, Black-and-White-Kitty).
Our dog is named "Dog", or "Annoying Yapper," depending on who you ask.
I guess I'll just name it "Hat" or "My Hat", as in:
Stranger: "Hey, what's that on your head."
Me: "Oh, that's My Hat."
Stranger: "I know that, Smart***."

 

[Musashi]

Aha! I should name my hat's Cherie and Joan! (Cherie Curry and Joan Jett)
they are both VS's... Cherie is blond (mojave) and Joan is Black Cherry!! Awesome. (I'm a bit excited that the Runaways movie is coming out next week on blu-ray/dvd)

Oh and then there's the Stetson Stingy which i think is from the 80's.. its gray with black band.. and there's the Dobbs stingy which looks just like it but a taller crown and more classic looks. (though i suspect its the same age).. gonna have to think about this. Could name them all after female rockers...
Then again maybe i could open it up to male rockers as some of my hats dont seem female to me.. the stingy's remind me of old men. Like maybe William S. Burroughs.

And the Panama.. i haven't a clue what to name that one.

anyway i am going way fftopic: so i better shut up now.

Actually it was an old slang term that many used in a context I won't repeat.

Spade referred to the black bird as the Dingus, and I thought of naming the hat the Grey Bird, but finally decided Dingus was a more direct reference.

Keeping with the rocker theme, you could name your "PANAMA" Eddie (...or Alex ... or David ... or Michael).

I've only got two at the moment, so they're just "the Stetson" and "the Gray One."

Art named this hat The Sportaire .

I think its a great name. Does anyone think otherwise???
Its a sweet hat and I really enjoy it!

Mike Moore made me this hat.

I creased it at a Fedora Lounge get together at the Peabody in Memphis and named it The Memphis Blues. {it has a blue ribbon}

What is wrong with that?

And for that matter, today I wore a Stetson Whippet... damn.. that hat has a name!
