German guys used to put male names to the tanks, and american girly names.

I put names to all my toys, and never use any of those names repeated again and again until calcination like Erika, Tiki, Marlene and so on.

For example my Panzer IV's name is Ehre, and my Panzer III's is Rechts

Here in Germany we also use girl names since the WWII... On the other hand, names from Germanic mythology are often used
for example DONAR this is the Germanic god of thunder.
