How do you name your computers?

[BlitzRommel]

I've seen a lot of people name their computers after various things, like ex-girlfriend, (???) Greek gods, etc.

Just curious to see everyone's naming conventions.

 

[Challenger]

I'm a big Mopar guy and I've always wanted a Hemi.......

Mine is nameless.

 

[Nemesis77]

[Vegito]

Servers - All jedi names

[Oyeve]

I name all my PCs after a nickname I call my son. Like Pookie1, Pookie2....etc. I label all my HDs (over 25 now) after my favorite cartoon characters.

Now that's innovative. Are you a history buff or something?

I don't really have names for mine.

 

[MasterHoss]

Look at my sig... sound it out. Just be clever.

 

[Derango]

I'm naming mine for the Shivan ships in Freespace 2

My desktop is ravana, a large, powerful, (fast for a cap ship), capitol ship.
My laptop is Nahema, a (much) smaller, fast moving bomber.

 

[MoMeanMugs]

I drop a spoon in a bowl. Oh wait, that's for naming something else. j/k

 

[LikeLinus]

Blackhawk - Mine (completely black XP System)
WhitePony - Server
Fireal - Wifes Computer
Laptop - Laptop..heh no name for it really

 

[BlueApple]

Couples from Shakespeare plays...

Oberon
Titania
Katharina
Petruchio

[samgau]

Its funny how Freespace2 uses Hundu Mythology as its naming convention..... i'm hindu btw...

"Ravana" pronounced "RawaN" was a Demon King of "Lanka" know today as "shri Lanka" ...

Also, one of my servers' name is "flower"

one of my workstations' is "whackjob" another is "multimedia" < yeah I know very original...

 

[FuManStan]

Mine are based on my AIM names which are basically my nick names...

 

[MrGrim]

Mine is called Microsoft for some net send fun.

 

[Quoch]

Mine is:

AMD Athlon XP 1700+ = Phoenix
Intel Pentium III 1.0GHz = Pegasus Knight

I favor pratical names over some of the other names listed. Usually it includes the processor speed in it or some other aspect of the machine, but my computer at school is named Unknown. It works well for network anonymity.

 

[CubicZirconia]

Wow, I just named it after my self. But I don't actually call it by its name. It just servers as a network identity.

 

[gogeeta13]

main rig=main rig
lan box=lan box
server=server
extra gamer=extra gamer

Just like me - I have to work with too many computers to keep them straight. Only a good naming convention can help. So I have names like:
486-66, Pi-133, Pii-dual-450, Piii-450, Piii-600, Piv-dual-1700, AXP-1533 , etc...

It is uncreative but sure helps me find the computers quickly. Then on each computer I name the drives in a boring manner: System, Data, Temp, Games, etc... depending on the number of drives.

I use Unknown for names and temporary passwords quite often (don't bother trying unknown is not for any password that you guys can access over the internet).
