I need a name....

[Hornedfrogbbq]

First double arrived from JJ today. .500 NE that a fine young man in Alaska was "Willing" to part with. I can't wait to shoot her...but need to name her too.

She is exactly that! I tend to hunt hard and while I absolutely love case hardening and engraving and gold metal work, I love the rounded body and bolsters on this Big Momma.

Let me elaborate on the theme. Call her "Sweet Jane" from the Velvet Underground. Plain may be accurate, but it is not complimentary. Or if you are younger, Cowboy Junkies covered the song.

Don’t clean her and call her “dirty Jane”

THAT'S not plain Jane.

You shouldn't name a weapon until it has drawn blood and proven itself. Its bad luck if you do.

 

[Tundra Tiger]

If she refuses to regulate... Sybil?

Nala, (East African origin)

Meaning: Successful / Beloved

Yes, Lion King made it famous — but it’s a real name and fits the safari spirit perfectly.

I asked ChatGPT, this was the suggestion.

My wallet bled pretty heavy...

I'm not sure this is true... Besides, I don't believe in luck. Warships at sea are named well before they draw blood.

Dolly Parton ... a pair of big ones.

 

[Miletic]

Nice rifle. Congratulation
Probably sings loudly
Reminds me of Lili Marleen

No man, You cannot call a double rifle `Helga` ! We live in Germany & Helga is a 1920s - 1950s name, old school & outdated. Diana, the Godess of Hunting, now that would be a name!
