Before buying my own Brompton, I hired one for a month to see if I could get on with it.
The Brompton hire bikes were all a sort of bluey-purple with pink stem and rear triangle.
It was promptly named Dora the explorer by my partner at work. Mostly because we'd recently bought my daughter one:
I then ordered my own and because I went for lime green, it then got named Ben 10 - after another kids' cartoon.

It'll probably not make a difference but I tend to give my bikes cryptic names for Strava so folk don't know exactly what bikes I've got (they probably do!)

Inspired by this thread I have decided to name my bikes.
Rather unimaginatively they are now called Black, Grey and Clown.

And now “Jammy“ the Raleigh number two.
Yup, always named my bikes. Not sure why, but I assume it's because I'd heard people do it for their cars. Some of the bikes have gone to the great garage in the sky now, but names and reasons below, there's a bit of a theme.
Ice - Cube HPC - Icecube....
Alan - Giant Defy - So named because on a triathlon I hadn't tightened the seat post enough (only got the bike a few days before) and mid triathlon the seat dropped down to the frame.......6'4" guy cycling with knees by his ears was funny and I was asking anyone for an allen key.
Dice - Specialised Crosstail- It was black and white and not to dissimilar to Ice, so just added a D.
Tino - Wilier GTR - Bought him on valentines day
Sadie - Giant Revolt - Bloody D-Post saddle stems......must be a relative of Alan's as again the seat dropped several times when I first got her so Sadie - short for saddle.
