[Warbrain]

I don't know why I ever named my iPod, or why i even felt the need to carry it over to my new shuffle. I've even gone as far as adding I, II, III, and IV after the name since I'm on my fourth 3G iPod.

Does anyone else name their iPod? And is there any significance behind it?

[CoMpX]

What's your iPod's name. Well, on my Mac it's name it Joe's iPod, but I like to call it what the word "iPod" looks like. ee-pode :)

[Warbrain]

I just went and called my iPod Mr. iPod. When you add to it and make it Mr. iPod IV, it sounds a bit noble.

My shuffle, on the other hand, is Señor Shuffle.

[yg17]

My iPod's name is "Todd's Pod" however, I don't actually refer to it....I refer to it as my iPod, as anything else would be dumb

all you do is when the iPod is plugged into your computer, go in iTunes on the left toolbarish thing to your Nano and click on the name of your iPod twice (not double click, two clicks). Then just change the name, click anywhere else in iTunes and you're done.

Interesting site, kinda like an "official" directory of iPod names. You can add yours and vote on others. Only thing is it's $5 to add it, (advertised as $1 for 5 years). Not bad though, kinda cool idea I guess, looks to be brand new (I've never seen it before). Potential to get big.

My old 3G iPod is called MJU, as a phonetic sort-of-abbreviation of music. My new(er) 5G iPod, however, is called Nanashi, which means 'without a name' in Japanese. I still haven't found a more appropriate name for it. Though a suggestion of a friend of mine, back when I got it new, was pretty cool: NJU. As my then-new iPod and as a follow-up to my old iPod, I thought that name was pretty funny.

My 20 gig iPod photo is named "StuPod", because it is very laggy

my green 4 gig Mini is named "oddPod"

and my soon to be green shuffle i will be the "escapePod" :D

Perhaps a good question is what is engraved on the back of your iPods too. ( edit: i see it has been asked, oops.)

on my mini is says "don't worry be happy", yeah i know :rolleyes:
and my hand me down 20 gig photo says "la la la la, lets get happy", the person i got it from loved Jason Mraz and the Cure.
