Do you name your computer(s)? If so what are they and why did you choose the name?

I name mine numerically. My current one is 2a because I changed the graphics card lol

Laptop is GrimReaper, NAS is DarthVader,, forgot what my desktop is lol

I name my laptop as Cerberus because it has dual-boot

"Broke back hashing" and "limpDisket" tons more but cba.

Mars(desktop), Europe, Io, Calisto... (laptops), μSievert, Gray... (work laptops)

"Brick" (a thick Dell laptop)
"The Gray One" (an HP laptop)
"Old White" (a 2002 XP Bluegear netbook)
And an old E-Machine netbook I can't come up with a name for. God dammit.

Harvey (Desktop)

Cower before the processing power of.... Bob

My naming convention is based on military hardware:

Current: Nimitz for surface pro, Dreadnought for desktop, Chinook for router.

Former: Lancasterbomber for lappie, Spitfire for windows phone, Messerschmitt for router

And loosly related current phone is "Scapa flow"

'Hot Slut' was my portable Ultrabook. Now I have 'Monster' with much more performance 😊
Oh and I have got a 'Shitty Router' 😁

Production servers after porn stars. Development servers after celestial stars.

I had a The legend of Zelda theme going on back in the days; my username was Link and I imagined warping from Hyrule to Kakariko etc. using SSH.

I named mine after Egyptian gods. Like Osiris, Ra and Sekhmet. When I replace a machine I place #g after it. Like Osiris2g 😊

All my devices follow the same naming scheme. It's RT-Devicename, where RT are my initials. So my laptop is RT-HP and so on

All my devices are cp-[use case] with a number at the end if I have more than one system performing the same action.

My old computer was called gloria though.

kraken because fuck you that's why.

Seriously though, I just called it that way because I do a lot of stuff on it, like mobile coding, audio recording/processing, video rendering, web development, and has a triple-boot

I usually give names related to the model/specs

Desktop: Haswell (in W10) and Hackintosh (on Sierra)
Laptop: Probook
iPad: iSlate
Old laptop: Insys (it's its brand)
Old desktop: Quad (it was my first quad core PC)

However my Qnap NAS is called Intersect due to Chuck

Mine is called "the memeMachine"

Nope.

My desktop: Blade
My server: Envy
My phone: Brick

Yup, seems about right.😀

Usually alternate between mythical creatures and elements/minerals
Desktop-Naga
Laptop-Mercury
Old Laptop-Graphite

localhorst for my desktop. Others named with classical names. rpi is Lucas, tablet is joyce, smartphone is named Ava... aso.

I named mine "GuineaPig" and my virtual server is Narnia :D

"Mythoclast" - Laptop (cause it's tough enough to challenge some beefy desktops)
"Heliopause" - Raspberry Pi running Windows 10 IoT core (cause it's the last place the light touches)
"RyPi" - Raspberry Pi running raspbian (cause my name's Ryan)

I call my laptop "Veronica" . Not hulk buster though xD

My servers are named after Doctor Who actors. Smaller servers are named after the companions. 🤓

Desktop: Titanium
Laptop: Copper
Server: Lead
Raspberry Pi: Helium
Yes, they're named after elements.

I always name mine after gems or semi-precious stones. My current is Jade; the previous was Talasite. I've also used Sapphire, Ruby, Onyx, Peridot, etc.

Jade and Talasite are so pretty!

Desktop called "Jade"
One laptop called "Amber"
Another pc called "Amythest"
