personification:
1. The attribution of a name and personal character to inanimate objects or abstract notions. Familiarity and humor dispel taboo and one of the surest ways to turn a taboo object into a familiar one is to give it a proper name (or charactronym). Many forenames have been applied to the penis , notably: Cecil, Charlie , Dick, John-Thomas , John-Willie , Percy , Peter, Roger, Willy . Male porn stars are notorious for picking phallic stage names: Rex Borsky / Busbone / Neve R. Come / Alex Dane / Dave De Long / John Decker / Sid Deuce / Dick Dickinson (dick and sons) / Rod Fontane / Billy Glide / Jack Goff / Pierre Har Donn / Rowdy Gallahad / Sweets Gurkin / Max Hardcore / Dave Hardman / Ron Hightower / Mike Horner / Rip Hymen / Johny Jam / Cal Jammer / Nick Knight / Derrick Lane / Jim Legman / Joe Logon / Attila Long / Longhorne / Dan D . Lyon / Biff Malibu / Andy Mast / Rodney Moore / Jim Nasium / Dick Nasty / Stumpy Penguino / Gerry Pike / Vladimir Roksoff / Virag Ronay / Dick Small / Randy Spears / Tony Speed / Spike / John Stagliano / Jake Steed / Colt Steele / Dick Steel (was pumping iron) / Kyle Stone / Slime Stone / John T. Bone / Rocky Toro / Frank Towers / Mile Uver / Teenie Weiner . Rodney Dangerfield was Dick Hertz in Saturday Night Live . See penis for synonyms.

2. The representation of an inanimate object or abstract notion in the form of a person.
