I named* my first self-built computer after him! Does this make that machine gay? They put chemicals in the bytes that turn the friggin' hardware gay!

*call me a weirdo but I do often name stuff like household appliances and my trees.

My friend's mom occasionally gives full names, like forename+surname and uses them as such

I don't go so far. Only my pets get a surname, and it's the family's surname. (Some of the household appliances have kind of melodramatic names though, specially if they break often. Like Solineuza, the washing machine.)
