What do you name your computers?

[GoingUp]

Sigfreid, Roy and Tiger

 

[iotone]

at my first job they were all named after national parks... another job we used las vegas hotels (which worked great!)

 

[Shadowknight]

I base my names on evil AI
Desktop: Master-Control (Tron)
Laptop: SHODAN (given that she became "portable" at the end of System Shock 2, it seemed appropriate).
If I use some of the spare parts laying around to make a HTPC, I'll probably name it SkyNet.

 

[Umberger]

Desktop: Icarus
Laptop: Suspenders
Server: Leeroy


...not exactly a common theme.

 

[talyn00]

animal names or mythological names

 

[Rastus]

Ecawk
Egine

 

[slpaulson]

Bessie

 

[Mo0o]

Sparky

 

[Sqube]

My computer's called ORGASM because my friend installed Windows while I was out of town and the word has a passing similarity with my real name.

 

[SketchMaster]

Money pit.

 

[Aves]

I guess I'm boring (or practical?). Machines are named with geographic code, building location code, user initials, and a number. Mystical names are cutesey until you get over the 40 or 50 machine barrier and can't figure out what or where the hell "sauron" or "nosferatu" is in the country/world/building. Example: HUMCUSJS01 (Humble, TX - Customer Service - John Smith).

This makes total sense in an enterprise environment but at home it's not that big of a deal.

Work computers are named for the users, which is a pain when they get switched around. Home computers are sea creature names such as shark, manta, squid, ...

At home, I just call it my puter.
Here, she's Rigalingus (hence the sig).
