So the other night after egging I told my wife to remind me to put it back in the garage before we went to bed.  She said she was surprised I hadn't come up with a nickname for it yet.  My first thought was to call it Humpty, but we all know how that story goes and I don't want to be messing with glue.  So do any of you have a nickname for your egg?

    Agnes..... after my grandmother who cooked on a cast iron stove and NEVER burned anything.

    It was called #19 after the tag that was on it from the Eggfest that I purchased it at last year; but it quickly became Agnes.

    Yes. I call mine the grill. 

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Agree - usually “The Grill” however sometimes it is “The Egg” - it answers to both.

    The first time my folks came over to visit after I bought the egg my dad asked why I had an avocado on my deck. The name stuck.

    I don't have one of her stove, but I found one similar on the googles....  Ours was a little bigger, and all black iron.  She was a cook in WW2, so that woman could manage 20 stoves and ovens like a champ!

    I remember her had two large oven drawers, 2 smaller bread warmers (that's what I called them), the firebox, and at least 8 burners. 

    when they remodeled the house, they just opened the wall and used a tractor to drag it out of the house.  It sat in the garage for a while; I'd kill to have that thing right now!

    I tired calling it, but it never came, so now I just go to it and just give it the generic, "hey you."

    I named mine "Judith Large", but my wife hates the name, so it's just known as the Egg. I give everything and everyone I love a nickname...so I really want Judith to catch on.  I don't think its gonna happen.
