Do you name your computer? If yes, what?

[ZapDing]

Yep, it's a quick and useless computer related fast thread.

Kinda.

But what do you name your computer?

After a recent format I named mine: HAL-9000.

If I ever need to name machines on a network I usually follow standard rules:

1) Character from book/movie/series/etc.
2) Planet/Stars/Space Objects/etc.
3) BuildingRoomIDNumber

Edit: That said, my home network is just names of rooms/people who use them.

[Cyclocius]

Marks_PC.

Huh.

[FreddiRox!]

FREDDIE-PC for my laptop.
FREDDIE'S BEAST MACHINE for my Desktop

[Zolofto]

Named everything that corresponds with its correct "zoning"

So a laptop will be MOB5L, Mobile 5 Laptop (Laptop 5)
A stationary Server or Workstation differs. Rendering PCs are REN1D Renderer 1 Desktop (Rendering Desktop 1)
Only equipment I have that doesn't go off a naming scheme is my servers and cellphones. They're just named (or kept default) on their tasks.

[Wootman]

User-PC

[Panda X]

The only name I gave it was at the OOBE setup which was POWER-PC. In reference to PPC processors, not making my computer have an ego.

[Baldr]

Server: Odin
[quote]Odin (pronounced /ˈoʊdɨn/ from Old Norse Óðinn) is a major god in Norse mythology and the ruler of Asgard. Homologous with the Anglo-Saxon Ƿōden and the Old High German Wotan, the name is descended from Proto-Germanic *Wōđinaz or *Wōđanaz. "Odin" is generally accepted as the modern English form of the name, although, in some cases, older forms may be used or preferred. His name is related to ōðr, meaning "fury, excitation," besides "mind," or "poetry." His role, like that of many of the Norse gods, is complex. Odin is a principal member of the Æsir (Norse Pantheon) and is associated with wisdom, war, battle and death, and also magic, poetry, prophecy, victory, and the hunt.[/quote]
Desktop: Freya
[quote]In Norse mythology, Freyja (Old Norse the "Lady") is a goddess associated with love, beauty, fertility, gold, witchcraft (seiðr), war, and death. Freyja is the owner of the necklace Brísingamen, rides a chariot driven by two cats, owns the boar Hildisvíni, possesses a cloak of falcon feathers, and, by her husband Óðr, is the mother of two daughters; Hnoss and Gersemi. Along with her brother Freyr (Old Norse the "Lord"), her father Njörðr, and her mother (unnamed in sources), she is a member of the Vanir. Stemming from Old Norse Freyja, modern forms of the name include Freya, Freja, Freyia, Frøya, and Freia.
Freyja rules over her heavenly afterlife field Fólkvangr and there receives half of those that die in battle, whereas the other half go to the god Odin's hall, Valhalla. Within Fólkvangr is her hall, Sessrúmnir. Freyja assists other deities by allowing them to use her feathered cloak, is invoked in matters of fertility and love, and is frequently sought after by powerful jötnar who wish to make her their wife. Freyja's husband, the god Óðr, is frequently absent. She cries tears of red gold for him, and searches for him under assumed names. Freyja has numerous names, including Gefn, Hörn, Mardöll, Sýr, Valfreyja, and Vanadís.
Freyja is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources; in the Prose Edda and Heimskringla, both written by Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century; in several Sagas of Icelanders; in the short story Sörla þáttr; in the poetry of skalds; and into the modern age in Scandinavian folklore.
Scholars have theorized about whether or not Freyja and the goddess Frigg ultimately stem from a single goddess common among the Germanic peoples; about her connection to the valkyries, female battlefield choosers of the slain; and her relation to other goddesses and figures in Germanic mythology, including Gullveig/Heiðr, Gefjon, and Skaði. Freyja's name appears in numerous place names in Scandinavia, with a high concentration in southern Sweden. Various plants in Scandinavia once bore her name but were replaced with the name of the Virgin Mary during the process of Christianization. Rural Scandinavians continued to acknowledge Freyja as a supernatural figure into the 19th century, and Freyja has inspired various works of art.

Laptop 1: Baldr
[quote]Baldr (also Balder, Baldur) is a god in Norse mythology associated with light, beauty, love and happiness.
In the 12th century, Danish accounts by Saxo Grammaticus and other Danish Latin chroniclers recorded a euhemerized account of his story. Compiled in Iceland in the 13th century, but based on much older Old Norse poetry, the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda contain numerous references to the death of Baldr as both a great tragedy to the Æsir and a harbinger of Ragnarök.
According to Gylfaginning, a book of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, Baldr's wife is Nanna and their son is Forseti. In Gylfaginning, Snorri relates that Baldr had the greatest ship ever built, named Hringhorni, and that there is no place more beautiful than his hall, Breidablik.[/quote]
Laptop 2: Ullr
[quote]In early Germanic paganism, *Wulþuz ("glory"; Old Norse Ullr) appears to have been a major god, or an epithet of an important god, in prehistoric times. The term wolþu- "glory", possibly in reference to the god, is attested on the 3rd century Thorsberg chape (as owlþu-), but medieval Icelandic sources have only sparse material on Old Norse Ullr.
The Old English cognate wuldor means "glory" but is not used as a proper name, although it figures frequently in kennings for the Christian God such as wuldres cyning "king of glory", wuldorfæder "glory-father" or wuldor alwealda "glorious all-ruler".
The medieval Norse word was Latinized as Ollerus. The Modern Icelandic form is Ullur. In the mainland Scandinavian languages the modern form is Ull.
Nowadays Ullr is known as the snow god among modern ski culture.[/quote]

[DrLuke]

Bernd is my Netbook's name. And Katze (german for cat) is my desktop's name.

[Clavus]

Main computer is Excaliber, my laptop is called Masamune. Guess I'm gonna stick to a legendary swords naming scheme.

[MetricMoose]

The gaming PC I built is Engineer, my server hiding under the desk is Spy and my Asus Eee PC 1201T is named Scout.

I was given an iMac over the summer (I wasn't able to get the earbuds from TF2 on Steam, since the graphics card is JUST right before the cutoff), though I'm not sure what to call it. I may go for Medic because of his white clothing or Heavy because of the giant 24" 1920x1200 screen.

[gman003-main]

Let's see, right now I'm on Farore, with a remote X session to Nayru, and a shared folder open from Din.

Yeah, I think you guys can guess the theme.

edit:

Since apparently, some of you can't, it's Zelda. The three goddesses of the Triforce.
