My family and I have had this computer for almost six years now, but my mom gave it to me and my brother when she got a new one; eventually I'll be getting a laptop, too.

My brother and I named this one 'Bertha'. :p

I can't remember all the names I have used, they are most often something chosen at the spur of the moment.
Here are few examples:
Tremor (had an earthquake while installing the os), Coffee, Pile, Black, ThinkingPad, Rover, webserverI & webserverII.

My Desktop is Terra, My Laptop is Luna, My iPod is Talyn and My Phone is Moya.

Desktop was Cactus, brother's desktop is Beer, laptop is BHA, and the soon-to-be-installed carPC is Sagan. The last two are not Macs, so I should be clear of lawsuits. Wireless network is CCCP

No, that was installed before I developed language skills and object permanence.

I imagine the reasons come from the same place as my habit of saying or typing prolly instead of probably. :)

Brain damage? :p

My Desktop is named Mercutio. He was friends with everyone, and a little crazy. My Laptop is Satellite_Of_Love, after the MST3K ship, which is named after a favorite Lou Reed song. My wife's Desktop machine is Spock, so I named the network Enterprise (The original Workgroup was called Bridgecrew back when I used a Workgroup). The media Center PC is called Vaudeville (the hard drives are Backstage and Dressing_Room). Our daughter's netbook is called Pinky. She's The Brain. Together they will try to take over the world.

And yes, I still name my computers because the first computer I ever had required a name for Network access. Later it required one for WINS. I've been naming computers for a long time.

At one point we had several desktops named after the planets and the net was the milky way.

Not so creative with the current laptop though. I think I'll call him Ned.

I went with ship names from Babylon 5.

Main rig: Agamemnon
DVR : Anubis
2k8 server : Churchill
Laptop : Prometheus

I have a buddy who took the other obvious choice and went with ships from the Trek universe.

All of my systems and servers are named after Nikola Tesla and his inventions. The guy was an incredible genius and I feel he has not received near the credit he deserves for what he did for modern science.

My system is named Nikola
File server: Wardenclyffe
Exchange server: Turbine
Domain controller: Tesla
Mobile messaging server: Coil
Second file server: Dynamo
Utility server: Telefunken
Roommates system: Niagara (based on the generators that were designed by Tesla to harness the power of Niagara Falls)

I name my computers after characters in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. My laptop is Spike.

Mother never did get why I found her choice of "tinkerbell" so amusing. I never really had the heart to tell her I'd named everything else I could after classic DooM levels for laughs.

Primary: Chaos Overwhelming (this name swaps to each new primary computer)
Laptop: Pandemonium
Secondary: Dis

--Obsolete--
Printing comp: Ichor Scrivener
Legacy games: Mt Erebus

I recently named my PC for the first time: Solaris.

Which Solaris? Book, Build, or Butt?
