Does anyone name their cubes?

[4Chan]

So, when people are truly obsessed with something, they tend to personify them.

Like, some hardcore anime lovers will claim characters as their wife, and create elaborate fantasies with the character. Sometimes resulting in crappy fanfiction, doujin comics, or fanart. Which may or may not be sfw.


Other people name cars, instruments, and other inanimate objects.

So I wondered, does this apply to cubes in the speedsolving community?

Well, I already decided I'm naming my second FII Floyd, when it gets here. If I get an AV, it will be named Dene.

Once upon a time, I had two cubes. I named them Cubie 1 and Cubie 2 (Cubie 2 is still my main speedcube).

The Berkeley girls name their cubes. One notable one is a yellow cube named Buttercup, or Butt for short.

#1, #2, blindfold, etc..

As in, this is my #1 speedcube, and that one is my #2 speedcube. That other one over there is my blindfold cube. Not very creative I know.
