My wife's iPhone made it up to iPhone (90). No idea how - she certainly hasn't owned 90 iPhones!

Mine’s Paddy. I knew someone who named their iPod Poddy, so took inspiration from that. It was also the name of my dog, who is no longer with us, so I don’t want to change it now. It carries across to every new device when I upgrade.
All my devices (except my Mac at the moment) have a name based on "light." Not sure why I chose this:
| AirPods | Starlight |
| AirPods Pro | Starlight Pro |
| AirPods Max | Starlight Max |
| iPhone | Moonlight |
| Apple Watch | Sidelight |
| iPad mini | Streetlight |
| iPad Pro 12.9" | Twilight |
| Mac mini | Lowlight |
| MacBook Pro | ???'s MacBook Pro |
It's not the same as naming the devices themselves my devices names, but every Apple computer device I've owned for the past 27 years has had on it an .aiff file that shares the same name as my daughter.
The file is a sound recording I made one night in 1996, when my daughter (then a newborn) woke up crying and wanting to be held.
I keep that file in a prominent place to remind me that my responsibility as a father should always be my first priority — even today, despite the fact my daughter is now nearly the same age that I was when I made the recording!

All I got is iPadS, iPhoneS, MacBookS, etc. for my first name. This is enough for me to differentiate within the iCloud Family.
I've gone with a dinosaur theme for my devices. My IPad is called Diplodocus. My Homepod is called Triceratops. And I've just named my new Iphone Plesiosaurus. I have not actually been able to find where you can assign a name to a Macbook.
Thank you. My Macbook's new name is Ultrasaurus.
Fun thread! My Apple devices are named after Autobots.
iMac: Optimus Prime
iPad: Jazz
iPhone: Bumblebee

lol, I'm just white bread about it. I name it what it is so I can tell which gen device it is. Though I love the spy/Assassin film genre so I like to name some things with cryptic names. Like my Windows Accounts. I like to call them Spy/CIA jargon names. lol.
My devices are named "Clix Pix's 16" MBP 2021," Clix Pix's 13" MBP 2020," and the iPhone is "Clix Pix's iPhone 12 Pro," and the iPads are "Clix Pix's iPad Mini 5" and "Clix Pix's iPad 12.9 2018." Keeps everybody straight on the network.
Now, cars I DO give a unique name.....my current one is called "Celeste," because she is a lovely Space Grey which matches my Apple gear, so therefore there's something celestial going on....
I live on a small lake where we have various wildlife creatures who live in and around the water. One of them, a Great Blue Heron who has been in residence here for several years, I named "Alfred" some time ago. (History buffs should pick up on that one.). We have a Mossback turtle who occasionally pops his head up to say hello as he is swimming by, and I have named him "Walt." (Long-time, serious Apple fans will get this.).
Sometimes devices, cars and creatures just all but name themselves...
