With horrible name dyslexia, I do not, ever, name inanimate objects. The people in my life tend to get called by generic noun names because my brain will switch names on me. (This included when I was dating the spouse, but as he is also left handed and dyslexic, we agreed early on that neither of us would invest any emotional reaction into the wrong name issuing forth.) Dog! Daughter! Spouse! Son! Niece! Car! House! And people tend to be 'he' and 'she' which is usually clear from context with the other right-brainers in the house, and annoying to the son, who is right handed and thus isn't brain-wired the same way.
I made a deal with my friends back in the seventies that I was not expected to remember the names of their various objects, including the one who named all her pens. However I could and did remember names of personal physical-geography landmarks, I don't know why. Maybe because the object also had an event attached?
