its my opinion that any top, mass produced or otherwise, has a distinctive personality and should be treated as an entity onto itself. that being said i think that its sort of a show of respect to the top to give it a name that you "feel" is right for it. the exception to that rule is if you buy a top from a craftsmen like mr. watts or johnM and say theyve already given the top a name lets say, in that case i would say it would be inappropriate for the buyer to rename the top. any top big or small like any person short or tall deserves a name @-@.......imho
