why do motherboards always have dangerous sounding names?

Target audience

because people automatically assume something sounding badass is going to improve their life?

something sounding awesome will appeal more to the target market, hence Rampage, Crosshair, maximus, striker etc

For immense effect obviously!

personally I'd [refer my motherboard to have a sweet name like "Asus Sabertooth" than "Asus P6X58D-E". Just has a little more ring to it. Just the same as why cars have names e.g. Focus, polo, supra!

Watch out for the Gigabyte Fluffy Bunny aimed at an under 15's female target audience

I like the idea of something soft and cuddly running my PC as it purrs away. With the first cars, there were names such as Jaguar, Thunderbird and Spitfire. Now we've got names like Panda (aaah)!! And who today would buy a car called "Sabertooth" ? No fluffy bunnies yet though..
