Like Joy, something has to draw attention to itself (in either a good or usually bad way) to get a name around here. Several of the mama cows have names as does the lead steer. He, at least, knows his name. One sow earned the name Pzarina (the P is silent). No tractors have names but one truck is The Slug. A few of the chickens have names too - mostly uncomplimentary. The horses all have names as most are registered. We have never named tools, but it could happen.
