I was just wondering what you all use for your networking and/or peripheral names?

What i mean is, what are you computer and peripheral names on your LAN?

I use Star Wars names myself as follows;

Mac Pro - Yoda
MBP - ObiWan
Networked Printer - Vader
Airport Extreme BS - Threepio
Airport Express - Artoo
External FW HD - Jango
External USB HD - Boba....

What do you guys use?
 
I'll play...

Mini - SpongeBob
250 GB Ext HD - Patrick
40 GB Pocket Drive - Plankton
Shuffle - Squidward
Wii - Mr. Krabs
LAN - Bikini Bottom
 
Macbook - Zangetsu
Desktop - Quicksilver (hey, it's quick and it's got a silver mac pro style case:p)

What an odd idea for a thread :D
 
Internal Drive: 飞行员 (Chinese for Pilot, the icon is a picture of Wash)
External Drive Partitions: Sinhon and Persephone
MacBook Network Name: Serenity

See a theme?

That's all I have for now, I hope to get a replacement iPod which I will name, but that'll have to wait.

Network Router: Optimus Prime
My Athlon 64: Megatron
iMac: Music Machine
PowerMac G5: Monolith
Roomates PC: TroublesomePOS
Other Roomates PC: Laptop

Megatron and Music Machine are the only names that I recycle. Music Machine as you may have guessed is for my iTunes Server and is connected to my main stereo. Megatron always refers to my gaming rig. I have wanted to use HAL but nothing short of a Mac Pro Cluster could live up to a name like that:D.
 
I name like every device I own... :eek:
Usually anime inspired and size/color.

MacBook Pro - Pururun Nyan
PowerBook - Pyocola Analogue III
Palm m505 - Saga
iPod Nano (Pink) - Rabi~en~Rose
Wii - Momiji
Cell - Mink
Camera - Tomoyo
Old dell laptop - Nuku Nuku
Ancient Powerbook - Kokoro
DS - just shares my online name, Ninden

... geh... I'm such a geek :(
 
Hmm...I've only got names for things that need names...I haven't named anything just for the sake of naming it...

Computer: ZePowahbook
iPod: Zoom-Zoom
Phone: ZeSLVR
Internal Drive, 3 partitions: System, Swap and Haggis
2 FW Drives: Fire and Water


I think those are all of the things that have required naming.
 
12" PB (started the theme but I no longer have it) - Microwave (it looked like an industrial kitchen all metallic and it got hot really fast!)

15" PB - Oven
Mac Mini - Sink
Mac Mini (boot camp partition) - Erator (get it, In-Sink-Erator)
Wireless router and Airport Express - Rodent
Slingbox - Breadbox
AppleTV - Skillet
External HDs - Pantry and Cupboard
Old Windows PC - Rubbish bin
iPod Shuffle 1st gen - Blender
iPod Shuffle 2nd gen - Mixer
iPod 1st gen - wPod (cause i had it on a windows computer before apple allowed iPods on windows machines, and well the iPod was so cool i got an iBook!)
iPod 4th gen (do not have anymore) - wPod II
iPod 5.5 gen - wPod III

i think that about covers it
