My MacBook Pro's name is Taylor <my last name here>'s MacBook Pro, but my hard disk is named Silentium (perfection in Latin). Its aptly named windows partition (used for gaming only) is lolredmond.
In the case of my iMac, I haven't named it anything other than Taylor <last name>'s iMac with a generic hard disk name.

For now, I call mine "Lappy". I haven't come up with anything better yet. I do know that she's definitely a she, though.

When I first got my G5, it was named "Pentane".
When I added a second HD and moved the OS over onto it, I renamed the system to "Pentene". If I add a 3rd HD, I might rename it to Pentyne 🙂
While the G5 --> Pent* naming sequence fits nicely, it was also coincidentally my 5th Mac desktop. As such, while the previous ones were not "Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butane, Pentane...", the next one might work off of a "Gen 6th" (Hexane), or it may reflect how many CPU cores it contains...might have to jump to Octane 🙂 I haven't decided yet.
The current notebook is simply "Lapcat".
And of course, my IBM laptop running XP at work is "Iwannamac" 😀

What did you name your iPod?
Just curious, what are the names of your new iPods?
I have a new nano, which is AWESOME, and I named it Fatty.

iMac - Andrew's iMac (very original!)
iPod Nano (2nd gen. 8GB) - The Traveller (I bought it so that I'll have something to listen to during my upcoming long-haul flights.)
iPod Shuffle (1st gen. 512MB) - The Runner (self explanatory!)

My new Classic has taken the name "Hubert Cumberdale" 😉
My 4th Gen was just "Oren's iPod" and my 5th Gen was "Gentry Oberman" until it got stolen 🙁
