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

I tend to go with with Star Trek names for my computer and wireless network names.

Wireless networks get names after Space Station. iPods get named after shuttle pods.

Computer get name after ships.
 
I don't really name my own gear, but at one of my jobs, the staff voted to call all the networked gear after characters from the 1980 musical film Fame:

Printer 1 - Bruno
Printer 2 - Doris

Time Capsule - Coco
Backup drive - Leroy

I've never seen the film, but uuuh I work at a theatre company full of screaming nellies - need I say more? (great job btw)
 
I'm not that original either. My iMac's name is "<first name> <last name>'s iMac". Yawn, right?

My two nanos are similarly named: "<first name> <last name>'s nano2" and "<first name> <last name>'s nano5".

I must admit I like the concept of Rodimus Prime's Trek-based naming system.

EDIT: ^^^ leekohler: Named after the singers, I presume?

I love that movie! Avoid the TV series like the plague, tho'.
 
What is your Mac called?

Hello everyone :D
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but...
What is your Mac called? :D Did you give it an interesting name, or it just called "(Your name)'s MacBook Pro" or whatever?
Mine's called Optimus Prime :D I called my iPod Touch "Bumble Bee" and my Time Capsule "Jazz"... bit of a transformers theme going on!
 
Tori

My wife knows that it's for Tori Spelling and it drives her insane! She doesn't understand why I find her hot - not going to defend her hotness here, just explaining the reason!

What did you name your MacBook?

I feel like giving it an equally masculine name but nothing masculine-yet-portable comes to mind.
 
Guess I haven't said mine yet (did a search).

I call my iMac HAL, mainly for the voice clock feature, that I have tell me the time on the half-hour.

And I always thank him. ;)

You never know when that bastard is working up a psych report on me. :mad:
