Diefenbaker - My main PC - 'cause it's cool, and so is the wolf.

Yoshi - My spare old PC - 'cause it's small and awesome.

Voot Cruiser - My PDA phone - 'cause I like Invader Zim.

Mine are currently named after characters from the David Eddings Belgariad series.

HTPC's are named after female characters and the rest after male characters.

Not a brilliant series of books...but then I've gone off Eddings, he's quite samey with his books.

I usually name mine by its type and CPU name (e.g. DesktopQ6600, LappyT9500)

At work we have a name-server so that we don't have to remember IP addresses.

All the machines have to be named, and have a static IP assigned.

We each have naming conventions. Someone named a load after minerals a few years back, which is annoying as they are hard to spell. Some are Chinese names, the chapters of the art of mathematics I believe, these are even harder to spell. The storage I inherited all has food names.

I name machines I commission after computers and robots from film, radio and literature. Such as marvin and deepthought from the hitchhikers guide, glados from portal, and robbie and speedy, 2 robots from Issac Asimov's book of short stories called "I, Robot".

Well at least you've not done what DreamHost did and called one of their mail servers "Spunky"

My daughter calls it the puter, but that's OK because she's only 2.
