In regards to the section for Goats, which reads:

"Goats has three unrelated characters all owning guns named "Bessie". Coincidence? Plot point? Or lazy author (and overly attentive troper)?"

I will not deny that I can be a lazy author but it is not the case in this instance: the repeated naming is intentional. It's a quirk of the artificial multiverse the characters live in, cheap and easy programming shortcuts having been used throughout its creation.

Also, my parents named all of their cars "Bessie", so maybe that plays a small part too.

To add. In literature should be "The Dresden Files" and the three Swords of the Cross: Amoracchius (Love), Fidelacchius (Faith), and Esperacchius (Hope)

It seems that this has merged itself with Named Weapons and the examples are mostly indistinguishable. As far as I can understand, this trope is about a personal name for a weapon that isn't widely known, whereas named weapons are those that have names as part of their lineage. Is this right and should a lot of examples then be moved to Named Weapons?

I can see no distinction between the two tropes.

They do seem the same. But we need the picture of Jayne back!

Why is this a redirect? "I Callit Vera" seems like a typo of "I Call It Vera".

This ins't a typo redirect, the name of the trope is I Call Her Vera.

But if you type "I Callit Vera", with "Call" and "it" as single words, with a lowercase i, you get "I callit Vera", and "callit" is not a word. So instead of I Call It Vera or I Call Her Vera, someone can type I Callit Vera for some reason.
