I like your Mac's name. Now that a character from the Bond films has made an appearance here, how much time will elapse before someone informs us that their Mac is named ... ***** Galore? :)

I use the same theme:

Powerbook: Kananga
Virtual PC on Powerbook: Scaramanga
MacMini: Zorin
ipod: Goldfinger
Shuffle: Domino
PDA: Oddjob
Palm PDA: Nick Nack
 
I named mine "iBook."

It's actually a Powerbook, but I don't want it to get a big head.
 
My main computer is called E.V.E. from the Japanese Anime "Megazone 23". She's the computer-generated personality that protects the people. My server is called Bahamoud which is also from Megazone 23. My AluBook 15" is called T-X from Terminator 3 because she's sexy and silver.

My mass storage computer is always named "File Vault" I'm on the third one so far. And I came up with this name years before it appeared in Mac OS X. My music server is always called "Music Machine", on number 3. My main computer is called "Megatron". My network SSID is "Optimus Prime". My roomates G5 dualie is "Monolith". And my other roomates PC is "troublesomePOS", since it is a windows machine that I have reformatted three times.
 
I've always just named my boxen whatever I feel like, who needs order? :p

PowerBook - gravity
FreeBSD server - perfectspiral
and my now defunct PC - quicksilver [yes, it was silver :p]
 
I just got a powerbook so I have yet to name it...although the guy that was here before me (at work) named the dell laptop, "piece of crap pc". I thought it was quite fitting. :D
 
I name all my stuff after Something Corporate songs.

Noelle - Powerbook
StrawDog - Windows Desktop
Caldecott - 40GB iPod
Little - iPod Shuffle
Hurricane - Router
Astronaut - USB Thumb Drive
 
Names

My macs are...
Big Mac - iMac G5
Little Mac - Powerbook G4
Spritle - iPod
Chim Chim - iPod Mini

No real theme, but I really did like the iPod names I came up with, following the Speed Racer theme.
 
Once again, here are my machine names:

Logic : Sony 3.0 GHz Windows 2003 Server with Exchange 2003 (used for my mail and, soon, for some personal web hosting)
Synthetic : Sony 3.4 GHz Windows XP MCE 2005 SP-2 desktop (where I do most of my work)
Atomic : Sony 850 MHz Windows XP SP-2 notebook (used mostly for troubleshooting now... also it's a work of art)
Xenophobic : 1.42 GHz Mac mini (used mostly for playing Internet radio and managing my iPod)
Kinetic : 1.5 GHz 15" G4 PowerBook (my new portable, replaced a 2.2 GHz Sony notebook named Nucleic)

as well as other devices (Sony PSP = Microscopic, Sony LocationFree TV = Euphoric, Maxtor attached network storage = Mnemonic)
 
My names are

Home Desktop: Fourier
Thinkpad: Laplace
Mac @ Work: Feynman

Mathematicians and physicists....I'm such a nerd :rolleyes: .... :D
 
although my g5 doesn't have a name I've decided when I finnally buy a laptop it shall be called Lappy386 in reference to everyone's favourite internet cartoon :D
