> regarding inanimate objects having feelings
Hmm, I can only think of 'personification' or 'prosopopeia' in that category. If it's an idea then it's 'incarnation'. I don't really see how '-nym' (name) fits in there.
[Prosopopeia: A figure of speech in which inanimate objects or abstractions are endowed with human qualities or are represented as possessing human form - AHD]
