My 4GB green mini is Chipper (after my cousin's parakeet), and my (soon to be sold) 5G iPod is Fez (That 70's Show). 
Got a tip for us?

I have a black iPod.
Her name is Sue.
Sort of an homage to Mr. Johnny Cash.
Previous iPods have been named Sally and Daisy.
I seem to only be attracted to female iPods.

My BlackBook is "Monolith" (My startup sound is the kettle drums from "Also Sprach Zarathustra") and my iPod is "Erwin" (the AI computer in User Friendly).
5g 30gig: Ouch
Its because that was the sound I swear I heard it make when i dropped it right when I unboxed it.

I've had three Macs up to now, and two iPods. My first Mac was the original bondi blue iMac. I bought it when the whole iNaming scheme started and the i still stood for internet. That's why I named that machine after the Greek messenger god: Hermes. My second Mac was the first G4 iMac. I bought it just after my girlfriend got this tiny hamster. It was white and, as it would sit crawled up all the time, also somewhat of a little ball. And since my then new iMac was white and dome-shaped, I named it after the hamster: Boris. Now I'm at my third Mac, a brand new aluminium iMac with 24" screen and a 2.8GHz Core 2 Extreme. I didn't really think about a name before I got it, but when I was installing it with a friend, the name just popped up in my head and we both thought it was made for the machine: Brutus.
My first iPod was called MJU, obviously because the name sounds like the first part of the word music. I still have it, but the battery won't last any longer than about 10 minutes, so it's unusable as a music player. It works well as a 40GB backup backup drive, though. My current 5G iPod is called Nanashi. I asked several of my friends what I should call it, and this name was definitely the best. It means something like without a name in Japanese.
Funny, discussing names for especially computers. I still don't know that many people who name their PC's...

And is your Motorola then now called "tooth"?
Why don't you name your iMac Einstein? Or Heijn?!...
Sorry, but there's really only one Mac model that can ethically be named Kermit, and we all know which one that is.
I love my MacBook Pro, so I felt it was appropriate to name it "Lamp".
I've not decided what I'll name my iPodTouch when it comes later this month.

I love Italian female names.
iMac - Fiamma
MBP - hasn't shipped yet. Gives me time to think of a name, I guess.
Powerbook - Luciana
iPod - Carmela (after my grandmother. She was an opera singer, obviously loved music, so it seemed fitting)
