Break it in, get super baked, and then think of a name for it. You should name all your pieces by yourself in my opinion, especially a first piece.
Right on. You can't name a piece without knowing it. Imagine naming your pipe Charles and then later finding out that it's actually a girl. Awkward.
So I wouldn't recommend that. My first pipe ended up getting named blow job because when I tried to take the first hit to christen it, the wind gusted and we were at top of a mountain and the bowl flew out and down the mountain!
much agreed. I always have, for the most part. a couple of times the bowl named itself in the midst of a group session.
