nMP?

I always named it after the primary owner. So...

"Wife's Name MBPr"
"Mother-in-law's Name iPad Air"
"My Name MP"

Works fine for the home front. Now at an office, that's a whole 'nother story.
 
Naming nMP

Im going to stick with my Transformers Scheme.

Airport Extreme: Soundwave
Mac Pro: Megatron
iPhone: Ravage
iPad: Rumble
Ipod: Lazerbeak
AppleTV: Starscream


I see no reason to change it.

Your little family would work well with my network SSID: Unicron

Ie. No internets for you. :D

Darth Vitrain has a Deathstar icon. The time machine backup has an icon of the destroyed Deathstar as a reminder of why one should keep a backup. The Tbolt drive is a Jedi raid with a Millennium Falcon icon. I also keep a clone with a Yoda icon (begun, the clone wars have).

My oMP is all decked out in Dr. Who.
 
Having owned big cats and big dogs, I like big dogs more than I like big cats.

I use primal canine related names, in order of supremacy: "AlphaCanisLupus***,"*/ "WolfPackPrime***," "WolfPack***," and "WolfCub***." "AlphaCanisLupus***" is reserved for systems that support > 8 double wide GPUs. "WolfPackPrime***" is reserved for systems that support > two double wide GPUs and > 32-cores. "WolfPack***" is reserved for systems that support > two double wide GPUs and have > 6-cores, but < 32-cores. WolfCub*** is reserved for my laptops, Atari and Commodore systems, and pre-2006 Macs, Intels and self-builds. So when I get a refurb nMP I'll first have to call it a "WolfCub" because I'm getting a 4-core, but I'll soon convert it into a system falling within the WolfPack category.

*/ "***" denotes system number within that grouping.

Call it "Nomad" from Star Trek. The evil flying computer that vaguely resembles the Mac Pro with its cylindrical shape (minus the thing on top):

"I am Nomad. I am perfect."

If you leave the default HD name "Macintosh HD" as part of the file path, it gives those with nefarious intents the clear path to your directory structure. Best to rename it. (Not as much of an issue these days, as there are other routes to the files, but still good practice).
 
My computers are named after the Roman consulate - Consul, Proconsul, Praetor, Propraetor, Quaestor, Proquaestor, etc. The desktops are "pro" and mobile are without the prefix. The old Mac Pro is Proconsul, this one is Propraetor.
 
I've seen:

stuff
All seven dwarves
My sh1+tango
Sector 001
Various stars and galaxies
Asgard
The 12 battlestars
The array
Davros

And a lot of other stargate sg1, doctor who and Star Trek ones I can't quite remember right now!
 
That's easy....

The computers that I do have are named after islands where I have scuba-dived - relevant theme (for me) and on a single two week trip to Indonesia, Micronesia or the Philippines you'll probably hit fifty or more islands per trip.
