My family and I have had this computer for almost six years now, but my mom gave it to me and my brother when she got a new one; eventually I'll be getting a laptop, too.

My brother and I named this one 'Bertha'.

I can't remember all the names I have used, they are most often something chosen at the spur of the moment.
Here are few examples:
Tremor (had an earthquake while installing the os), Coffee, Pile, Black, ThinkingPad, Rover, webserverI & webserverII.

Desktop was Cactus, brother's desktop is Beer, laptop is BHA, and the soon-to-be-installed carPC is Sagan. The last two are not Macs, so I should be clear of lawsuits. Wireless network is CCCP
No, that was installed before I developed language skills and object permanence.
Brain damage?

My Desktop is named Mercutio. He was friends with everyone, and a little crazy. My Laptop is Satellite_Of_Love, after the MST3K ship, which is named after a favorite Lou Reed song. My wife's Desktop machine is Spock, so I named the network Enterprise (The original Workgroup was called Bridgecrew back when I used a Workgroup). The media Center PC is called Vaudeville (the hard drives are Backstage and Dressing_Room). Our daughter's netbook is called Pinky. She's The Brain. Together they will try to take over the world.

And yes, I still name my computers because the first computer I ever had required a name for Network access. Later it required one for WINS. I've been naming computers for a long time.

At one point we had several desktops named after the planets and the net was the milky way.

Not so creative with the current laptop though. I think I'll call him Ned.

I went with ship names from Babylon 5.

Main rig: Agamemnon
DVR : Anubis

Laptop : Prometheus

I have a buddy who took the other obvious choice and went with ships from the Trek universe.

IF PWNED > OWNED and PWNED=PWNAGE and OWN<PWN but PWN<PWNED and OWNAGE>OWN then what does OWNAGE+PWN equal?

All of my systems and servers are named after Nikola Tesla and his inventions. The guy was an incredible genius and I feel he has not received near the credit he deserves for what he did for modern science.

My system is named Nikola
File server: Wardenclyffe
Exchange server: Turbine
Domain controller: Tesla
Mobile messaging server: Coil
Second file server: Dynamo
Utility server: Telefunken
Roommates system: Niagara (based on the generators that were designed by Tesla to harness the power of Niagara Falls)

Mother never did get why I found her choice of "tinkerbell" so amusing. I never really had the heart to tell her I'd named everything else I could after classic DooM levels for laughs.

Primary: Chaos Overwhelming (this name swaps to each new primary computer)
Laptop: Pandemonium
Secondary: Dis

--Obsolete--
Printing comp: Ichor Scrivener
Legacy games: Mt Erebus
