LOL! I don't name instruments, but my Dad used to call my first clarinet
(the old Conn) Billy Banshee. In addition to calling clarinets Screech
Sticks, Shadow Cat has given all of my clarinets individual names, but I
think that if I translated those names from Feline into English, I would
probably get banned from the list for gratuitous obscenity!
