Since the very first seed I planted I have always named my plants. Seems like we all enjoy the crazy, odd, interesting names put on different varieties such as Alaskan thunderfuck, or whatever, but does anyone else besides me name my plants individually? I have a Ophelia, Bertha, and Eliza, growing right now and really enjoy myself doing so😂. For me, it personalizes each plant as they all are individuals just like any other plant or animal, or human. Am I the only one that does this?

I had a male plant temporarily in the cupboard under the stairs while I was waiting for some pollen, so I called Harry, after Harry Potter who lived under his uncle’s stairs.
I usually identify them with their peculiarities, like wonky leaf Tut that had misshapen leaves or skinny branches big nosed Kate, runty for the small ones wide load for the big ones, long legs Lenore for the tall ones. I try not to give them real names, I feel bad enough executing them at chop time as it is lol.

Growing up on a small family farm, we never named animals we were gonna butcher and eat. The breeding moms/dads had names, but we didn’t eat them.
As for plants, I call them phenotypes or phenos for short… that could include numbers and/or letters, too.
I do name any crosses that I make, it helps make it easier to keep track of what is what.

@bandit306 that’s exactly how a plant should be named! I’ve named a plant after an x girlfriend that was stubborn as hell and I’ve even renamed some after they start spitting flowers out such as Sloppy Susan, Lanky Lilith, Chunky Chelsea, Harry Mary and many more

I started naming them initially, but when I stopped - they started naming themselves. 
This grow - they started as Doc 1, Doc 2 & Doc 3 but ended up as Little Sister, Silver Dancer and Mirkwood.
