Dildos with human names

Contributor: Nacht Stern Nacht Stern
Will you not buy a toy based on it's name?
Because a sex toy has the same name as your
father/mother/brother/ sister/ex lover?
Does this bother anyone else or just me....

If it was the same first name, but not associated with a porn star, I could see that being slightly awkward to use.

Probably not. I would just rename it.

There's a dildo here that I REALLY would like to try, but I'm trying to get over the fact that it has my MOTHER'S first name.

Though, I suppose I can't hold that against it because I am currently writing a novel in which my FMC has my mother's name and she is a bartender at a gentleman's club and is experimenting with her sexuality. NOTHING like my mother, hah!

If I found a dildo with my own name then I might be tempted to buy it, just for the sake of amusement.

What she said! I rename many of my toys anyway!

Kira linked me to a dildo that is named the same name as mine. Even though I wouldn't have much use for it, I REALLY want it!

Anyhow...to the OP. I agree with renaming it. MiMi doesn't remind me of the Drew Carry Show.

I must admit there is one here that I want, but keep passing up due to it having the name I picked out for my son. It just feels weird.

Doesn't reaally bother me.

I think of it like this: am I going to avoid talking to someone I'm friendly with just because they share the name of someone else I don't like? Of course not. You have to put name associations aside sometimes - it's just coincidence in most cases.

Besides, I can always just rename it if it gets too weird, right? It's not like the toy is sapient and can object to any alterations of its identity. At least I hope not, or that'd be reeeeeally awkward.

Human names on toys are weird to me too.

Kinda weird, but I've never actually thought about it before. I might shy away if it was a close family member.

LOL I actually have passed over toys that have names I simply didn't like in the past, I'm sure inconvenient name associations would be no different.
