Electron
Proton
Neutron

No stealing...

Behemoth, Wiggles, Wumpus, and Creepers. I have no idea what I'm going to name my next computer.

I used to name my computers after various Goaulds from the show "Stargate:SG-1". At work we used to use characters and race and planet names from "Babylon 5".

This is that kind of thread where everybody thinks they are clever so they reply but nobody bothers to read other peoples' posts.

I dunno, I've been reading it at least. It's fun to see what other people have named their machines. At least i think so... After all, people like to name their boats, cars, planes, etc.

 

[piasabird]

We named a server Osmo.

 

[jadinolf]

SuperComputer, HamShack, Number4, TheLab, Laptop

LOL.

I read the other posts. I like the consistent themes like transformers, sub-atomic particles, etc. I name mine after constellations. If I have a virtual machine on a rig, then it has the same name but in a different language.

Usually named it Computer...

 

[Tequila]

windowz gaming rig --> Nostromo
unix htpc rig --> Sulaco

I'll leave it up to you to figure out which movie those names are from

 

[Paperlantern]

Mine -> TheLantern
Hers -> Goldy
Server -> ntserver01
My Laptop -> Lappy
Her Laptop -> GoldyLap
Music Room -> Music

Nothing fancy, but i know whos is who, and where they are. At work we use the same server naming scheme for servers except we are up to ntserver27, and for the oworkstations we use an acronym for the business name and a 3 digit number 001, 002, 003, etc
