It's not like you're calling a computer that name, it just needs a label for when you're using it in a network. Our network has three identical Mac minis, so labelling them all "G4 Mac mini" just won't cut it.Naming a computer = bizarre
Try to get out more folks.
Try to think before you judge, man.
EDIT
For the record: my 24" iMac is named Leviathan.
