    Do you give names to your DIY hammocks?

    I do.

    Does "the blue one" count as a name? If so, then yes I do! ;-)

    I've got a 1.6 hyperD wide 11ft that I refer to as my fat boy hammock. It's my go to generally, especially when I've not been hiking as much as I like and I reach full blown manatee mode.

    Then I've got my hyperlite. It's a 1.2 Robic (can we still call it that?) Hybrid 10 foot that is a.bit on the narrow side to cut all possible weight without sacrificing too much comfort. It's pretty great but I haven't used it in a while due to the aforementioned manatee mode... the boy gets to use it, instead.

    Big blue and big red, kiddo, and ugly betty to name a few.
    Odd thing is, my 2 most used hammocks don't have a name.
    My lesser used UQ also get names. Leigh, green monster, upside down. Again, the commonly used ones do not.

    I was walking through Joannes one day and found some bright emerald green taffeta on the discount rack. I used it to make my first winter hammock. I have always referred to it by its original intended purpose - Prom Dress.

    I call my all black 1.6 argon the " blackwidow" since i constantly have spiders crawling on / hanging from it plus the all black RL & suspension, and I sleep like the dead when Im in it lol. I shall name my next one " the divorce " because that's what it will cause if i buy or make yet another hammock or quilts to go with said hammock lol. She has got wise to my " buy and make everything in dark olive green & black color scheme so it all looks the same to her" bit, so I can no longer easily hide my rediculous impulse buys, addiction to modifying inexpensive gear and obsession with all things hammock ,camping, hiking & bushcraft lol.
