Heck yes I name my instruments.
Back in freshie year, my friends and I were trying to come up with the randomest names for our instruments, and I burst out "Ivan the Terrible is a pretty kickbutt name." And we decided that my clarinet is now "Ivan the Terrible".
My fellow pit members and I have also named the mallet instruments: the marimba is Julio, the chimes are Reginald (we usually just say 'Reggie'), the xylophone is Hilary, the bells are Vincent (or 'Vinny'), the vibraphone is "Bob the Hobo" (because our vibes are in dire need of replacement, and they kinds suck), and the three sets of marching bells we use in parades are Huey, Douie, and Louie.

My bassoon's name is Bessie, my clarinet's name is Clare Anette (so creative), and my saxophone's name is Jake.

I decided to name by bassoon "Bassie" (like the pronunciation of bass, not bassoon.)
So incredibly creative, I know. But I think it's so cute. ^_^
Haven't named any of my other instruments. If I get a tenor saxophone I'll probably name it, though.

hahahaha ok, so i kept forgetting wat my flute was named, and one day i was watching friends, where phoebe changes her name, and so i named my flute after (half) of her name so my old flute was Princess Consuela I loved her dearly, but that flute was 60 years old and finally got so broken it couldn't be repaired so i got a new one and named it Epiphany or Piff for short. it makes me happy inside, we christened her during sectionals.

My 1st clarinet's name was Benny, after Benny Goodman. A girl in my band named her trombone Darrell and this other girl named her tenor sax Gerard.
