Do you name you're computers/devices. If so what are they called

[Syther101]

Just saw a post on reddit about somebody asking what to call their new build. Just wondering how many of the you guys name your devices and if so what.

Personally I haven't come up with any kind of naming yet but I like the idea. Currently it's RyanH-PC, RyanH-iPhone, etc XD.

So what interesting names have some of you guys come up with, or do you think the idea is just silly?

Yup. First lot were birds, now I'm on to characters from Final Fantasy games (more specifically, the girls ). Next lot of upgrades are probably going to be named after moons. I'm feel spacey lately.

"mrk"

Because when I want to access my machine from a LAN device I don't want to stand there like a berk typing in \\somefancylongnamename\m$

On the flipside, my wifi SSID is free advertising for my homepage

Mine's called Pepsi because I won £1000 in a Pepsi competition which paid for my build, so only thought it'd make sense

Previous PC was called Shodan.

Main rig is called PSYCHOPIG and renamed whenever Windows is reinstalled. So at the moment it's PSYCHOPIG XV.

Backup PC used to be PSYCHOPIGEON but was renamed to WAPPING when I gave it to my gf, since we both like the area and the word itself.

cool, the worst bit is that the YT never heard of Red Dwarf, he was doing a few of the steps for me on the install and when he asked what I wanted to call the new server I said 'Rimmer' then I went back to do the install of some software and realised he called the server 'rim_her' kids!
