My computer name is Galateea
Another computer (my mom's) is Orion. But this was named by my brother.
My car doesn't have a name (but someone I know named one of their car as "the buffalo").

Ah well, not really. I mean I have a Lian-Li case so I call it Li-Li, but I don't like stroke the side panels or say "my pretty" or anything.

Depends how it's running. When it's working well it's "the Beast", when it's being shite it can be called all sorts of colourful names, which I'll not repeat here to prevent causing offense :)

Agreed. Which, in my particular case, are all mathematicians (Cauchy, Fourier, Laplace, Ramanujan, Lagrange, etc). Was a brief period such a group was limited to French mathematicians for some strange reason, but has since broadened out to other nationalities as well.
