I'm an IT Administrator and we get to choose the names of the computers after we build them. I usually think of names that go along with the computer users.


How do you guys choose computer names?
 
Sometimes I go by names from traits of that person. If they are tall, i might name it "tall*" or something like that.

songs. i name mine to correspond to what songs generally fit it...

but with pink floyd, you cant go by a song. it's the album.

so i went with The_Wall for this one 😉

edit:

my next one will probably be either Highlander, or Seven_Seas
 
However I feel at the moment. My computer is "1337mach1ne," another one here is "newhotness" after the Men In Black line...etc.

Do you have a "fatass" computer yet? 🙂

At work, we name our servers after LOTR characters. My predecessors were doing it for 2-3 before the movie came out and I've continued the tradition.

As for users, I name the computer the first character of their first name and their last name. That is, unless they prefer something else... which almost none care anyway.
 
I goof on celebrities, this one is named Regis Philbin. The girlfriends is Kathy me, oops Lee. Had a Bob Vila for a bit, too.

Actually, I've reserved a special one for my workstation (Dell Precision 420) Balrog. 🙂
 
My IS Manager likes Norse god names, so like Frey, Odin, Saga, etc. It's actually kinda nice, all four letter easy to remember names. Plus, there's lots of them.

My first machine I called Rocket because it was twice as fast as my parents old computer. My next machine was called Shuttle because it is a Shuttle XPC box.
 
Mine is called the Black Box because it's a black case. My little bro built his after mine so he named it the Black Box 2.0
