What Is Your Mac's/iPod's/iPhone's Name?

I use names of greek gods to identify my computers. I have an imac, an asus eee pc netbook, an old pc laptop and an 15 i7 sweetness on the way :) my imac is caled zeus. netbook is called hermes (messenger and carrier god) notebook is called atlas (because it's mostly open and downloading things, sometimes used as a web server to try new sites) and I'm going to name the i7 hera :D. they are their network names, but I also use them sometimes, because it's much easier tocall a computer atlas instead of 'the old blue toshiba at the end of the hall'.

I also named my MBP hermes ;). I'm very happy with my Greek God naming scheme.
 
My current MBP is called "Gremlin" after a dog I once had :) I usually name my computers after pets I have/had.
 
I don't have names for the computers, but the hdd's all have names.
PC Desktop: SG, Stratocaster and Roadstar II
Laptop: Jackson
Server: Telecaster, Explorer and Flying V

It started with my brother calling our first hdd SG and since then I've called all the hdd's after guitars.

I named my white 1.83 MacBook Bumblebee. The HDD is named Unicron. :)

I call it FrankenMac now due to the all plastic breaking and my use of tape to hold it all together.

Still thinking of a name for my 15" MBP, though.
 
I've never named any of my computers. Perhaps I should name my 17" i7 MBP, when my order arrives.
