Temporarily
Before I knew about tire boots I once rode over a piece of glass on a local mup that ripped a 1 inch slit in the tire and blew out the tube 12 miles from my vehicle. Had a spare tube but didn't know what to do about the tire. In a fit of frenzy I called my bike a dirty rotten pos as I sat there waiting for my ride after making a call of shame.
When I got home I apologized to my bike for the name calling. But I don't think that qualifies as naming your bike bike in the same sense as to OP meant.
