Anyone name their phone?

[RobinInOR]

...or do you just leave it at “name’s phone”?

Habit I got from work, to name my devices in a theme.
IPhone X is going to be ‘Lysithea’, which is the 10th moon of Jupiter. It will join Callisto and Titan on our network.

I put a name that I typically have used for various devices in the past. I don't think I've even really had it appear as "Name's iPhone"--I've seen it just generically say "iPhone" for the most part when I haven't changed it or when it changes on its own (which seems to happen once in a while, perhaps after some update).

 

[Macalway]

Maybe tomorrow I'll name it Nov 3

 

[Leica Dad]

I’ll name mine covfefe

How do you even name your phone? Does it change the name of your personal hotspot?

I plan to name my iPhone X “Steve” as a tribute to the legend himself.

Settings -> General -> About -> Name

I just do "Initials Phone". It used to just be "iPhone", but it gets confusing with Bluetooth devices and whatnot.

yes

In a house with many iOS devices, it is handy. Mine is “BMO”.

My son named his 7 matte black Phone “Siri S Black”

I’ve been trying to come up with a fun name for the X- thought about calling it name of ex boyfriend in high school

 

[PowerBook-G5]

I typically name all of my iOS devices like this: <my> iPhone <generation> <capacity in GB>

So my 6S is PowerBook-G5's iPhone 6S 64GB. It helps with managing them in iCloud.

Somehow, my iPhone Baby Boomer 256 seems awkward to me.

Macs are names after cities, iOS devices are named after islands in my family. For me, my Mac is Honolulu. My iPhone is Tahiti. iPod is Tokelau, iPad is Tonga.

 

[MjWoNeR]

I use my name as a theme for all devices. For example if my name is Daniel, my iMac is DaniMac, then DaniPhone, DaniPad etc.

I also have an old 5S as a just in case phone that’s called LillaPhone, as in little.

 

[Septembersrain]

I usually just put my name turn the type of device.

Like Lucia iPhone 7 Plus or Lucia V30

 

[Ntombi]

Boy, I need to get more creative!

 

[praterkeith]

Named mine Conway, after Conway Twitty.

 

[Hater]

Mine is named "Bens Galaxy S5" even though it's an iPhone and my name isn't Ben.

Just one of those things to throw people off the path I guess?
