Yeah. I think that if I ever got a G5, it would have to have a good name. A laptop, however would probably be named Eve 4.0, being that this is it's fourth incarnation, though not all of them have been mine.
As for iMacs, something short and efficient, like Noah, or Isis. An eMac would be hard to name. It depends upon the user's first impression of it, upon setting it up.
A Powermac G4 Tower would have to have some kind of ancient mythological name, given their recent antiquity. Something like Ajax, or Achilles. An iBook would have to have a female name. I dunno why. Some Powerbooks would too. That's why mine was named Eve, although I didn't name it, being that I was not the first owner. Yes, I know, ownership has nothing to do with naming, but Eve just stuck for some reason.
A G5 would have to have a rock solid name, something from Celtic or Norse mythology, like Thor, or Odin, or something. Something appropriately badass, as you can imagine. Maybe something also from Japanese history or mythology would work.
*Edit*

External drives should have cool names too. I think Cyclops is a good one. Some others might be, in keeping with greek mythology, Perseus, Pegasus, Atlas or Cronos would work.


So, whether it's a PC or a Mac, what's your computer's name? Or, what would you name your computer if you were to do so?

see i'm german and you mentioned mythology, tribalism and such, since we pretty much invented all the pagan gods, i'd call whatever i had (g5 would be sweet) after one of them, a female one most likely. don't ask me why but i just think that behind the hard, brished metal shelve, there's something female.

I have names for all my drives.

The name for my tower itself doesn't exist, sometimes I'll call it 'Puter.
