No, but it's incorrect grammar to give them masculine names. Inanimate objects have the feminine gender in English
Are you sure about that? I thought we had three genders M/F/N, and inanimate objects are really neutral, yet we tend to personify them as a gender sometimes

English doesn't have gender anymore except in sort of a vague prosaic sense.
