Naming your Pc is hard. How it goes. You spend hours on end putting together your ultimate hackstation with every cable and strap in just the right place and not a single screw left behind. As you are on your way to awesome gaming heaven you are presented by a screen "Please enter computer name:" At this point I look at my PC -> Back to screen -> back to PC.

Ending up with something lame like "SupERAWESOMEGAYSTATION9000"

My favourite film is the matrix so I name mine after matrix characters.

Laptop (Linux): switch

Laptop (Windows): cypher

I named my laptop after Cypher because it was supposed to run games well but betrayed me and in fact doesn't. Both of these characters die fairly quickly and I'll be getting rid of my laptop as soon as I can afford a new build (which will earn a main character's name).

My first build: keymaker

Phone: Nebuchadnezzar (because it was my first smartphone)

All of my machines had names. The 66mhz screamer back in the day was HAL and had the appropriate custom sound scheme. The first laptop was Mephista, thanks to the AI ARG. The desktop replacement was Pinky (it went "Narf!" upon startup) and the unfortunate Acer laptop was Hedwig, who went down in a blaze of overheating glory. The Toshiba that replaced her picked up the lucky Mephista name again. The last desktop sort of matched by bearing the name Diablo. My latest laptop has been christened Gonk. The in-progress desktop is unnamed, pending completion of the case paint job.

MY first machine I built was named "Jesus" I am now up to "Jesus4". I don't recall the reason behind the name, but when I buddy surprised me with my new machine he had already named it Jesus4 which followed the correct order.

My father has always had "Orion#" so when I built him a custom machine I named it "Scorpio" since in mythology the giant scorpion was sent to kill Orion. :)

It's actually seen as good system administration to pick a category of some kind and name pcs on a network after that category. Common ones I've seen are planets and elements.

My home devices are all named after female Anime characters from my favorite shows (being that I like Anime and typically refer to devices using female pronouns). To make things easier I made a list of names for me to pick from ages ago so now when I get a new device I use one from the list.

Current devices: Lain, Teletha, Hinoki, Chii, Freya, Konata, Mitsuki, Mimiru, and Makina

Before Al Gore invented the internet in 1999, naming schemes in large networks were usually the playground of sysadmins, and there were all kinds of awesome schemes out there. (As the web exploded and initially machine names were made public before we all got smart about DNS and A Records, executives with no sense of humor clamped down and made it boring)

Now, between executive interference and the demands of maintaining huge farms, most corporate computers have names like WebDB001

And apparently there's a security note that this is the worst possible way to name your servers, since it's a roadmap for anyone who managed to land on one - don't know if we'll ever see a return to the joys of "All the servers in the Oracle farm are named after DC Superheroes, while the servers in the SQL Server farm are all named after Marvel Superheroes..."

Current computer is called 11DEC2011 that's the date everything was put together and windows installed, so I can keep track on how long it has been in service without hd wipe incident. If I have to reinstall the date will change to that new day and the clock starts ticking again from zero. Longest streak so far was my old pc sometime around AUG2006 up until about 3-4 months ago.

Not the most creative naming scheme, but handy to see how long the build has lasted...or to build a tombstone.

Edit: Where I used to work all of the servers had biblical names, and the admin would call them by name and curse them when they didn't work.
