I only have a name for one whistle and it's unrepeatable! Totally unplayable.

Well, I only named three of my whistles, and those three are my Clarkes. For lack of better imagination, I call my Orig. Painted D, George; my Orig. Natural finish, Bob; and my Orig. Painted C, Fred.
I take George, Bob, and Fred pretty much everywhere, and they are my fav. performance whistles.

The breathtaking Elvish dwelling
Set back among great trees.
Lilting strains of Elven songs fill my heart;

LOL!!!! You guys crack me up!! Now all you need to do is get a LITTLE more creative with your names... Bob, Fred, etc are great but how bout some good three or four syllable names like Hezekiah? LOL Actually, I have no room to talk because I've never named a whistle. HOWEVER, my friend and I did name my shruti box (Indian drone instrument).... it is "Trudi Petoooti the Shruti"

"Pixie stick" ooh I like that one!
I was initially thinking some standard english names. Walter (it is a waltons after all!). Peter also appealed for a while, as in ~ Piper, ~ Pan, but it wore off...
Now I am trying to find pagan-y type names. 'Hermes' is appealing, he invented the pan pipes (his son was Pan), or 'Aeolus', the greek mythological 'king of wind'. And I also found that there is a Slavic goddess(?) of the flute, Pizamar, but cant find much out about her.
Euterpe was the greek muse of music and her symbol was the flute, but her name is WEIRD.
If anyone knows some other names like this I would love to hear them!

Ok Ok. There is only one whistle that my brother and I have named. It's kinda digressed from the original name because it's kinda mean. BUT, we are ALL MATURE people here and i think that you can handle it. And believe me, it's no offense to anyone. And if it does, please forgive. This was the perfect place to tell about it. But the very first whistle that I ever got was a brass (painted black) Faedog. It's name with me will forever be..."The Devil Whistle"

Haven't named my whistles yet - although "Squeaky" sounds good to me right now!
I did name my uilleann pipes though -- Saoirse (pronounced sayrsha or seersha). Meaning freedom, also sounds like the bellows working to inflate the bag.
