My desktop is named Red for ease of identification on the network. (Living in a student apartment and the whole place is one big LAN)
Laptop is named TARDIS.
My external HDD is named HK-47.
My phone have the name Mr. Red Beard as my facial hair is slightly red even though my hair colour is brown.
My USB flash memory is named The Bug as it kinda looks like a bug and is very small in physical size.

Sun (main), moon (backup and plugin server), reverend (laptop).

For now, mine's called Shitkicker. AMD Athlon 3200+ 2GHz single core. Oh, god! I'm sure it was top of the line in its day. Now, though, it's practically prehistoric. I am hoping to get a new one. Being able to play New Vegas, Starcraft 2 and Metro 2033 at graphics settings higher than a shitpit would be nice.
And don't get me started about the performance lag...

Names from Red vs Blue have been traditional in my house: we have Omalley, Donut, Lopez, Simmons2_0, and Wash. Then there's Compy, Dennis, Megatron, Thanatos, and the Craptop. The router, Excelsior, is badly misnamed.
Holy crap, I only just realized how many computers we have.

A while ago, the university I attend replaced a Beowulf cluster with a single server. They named it Grendel.
Mine are known by their network names.
My previous one was fairly nameless as "tharglets-pc".
Current one is called "thor".
The NC10 I had was known as "nc10" for awhile, then got called "loki".
My old work machine was called "freya".
My new work machine doesn't really have an identity that much, but then again I don't use it for much other than work, so I don't chat to it all that much.
(Edit: I think my partner thinks Thor is alive... seeing as the other day he almost ended up feeding it some prawn crackers)

My current computer is "Sir Awesomealot" and he's sadly on his way out, so next Friday I'm getting a Lenovo Y560. Her name will be Lenore. Or possibly Mammon, because she's going to be a beast of a laptop.
Dude, if you're going after greek mythology, go with Nyx or Orpheus.JFuss said:
Pretty much all my major electronics have names, though I only use my memory sticks' names in regular conversation. Y'know I'm just gonna rant about all of them now, right? XD
The naming thing started with my memory sticks 3 or 4 years ago - Charly, Skye, and Nyte were my memory sticks. Charly was named for jokes when I discovered I could change the name in the properties window, the other two were named as such because they're the same stick just different sizes and colors (Skye is 4gb and light blue, Nyte is 8gb and dark blue).
My MP3 player at that time was called Kai, but it broke and was replaced with Bernardo (watching Zorro, I was.
). Then once Bernardo kicked the bucket in August I got an iPod Touch that I named Alan (after Alan Wake, what I was into at the time of getting it).
My 360 I believe I dubbed Xavier ages ago, though I never call it that, my PS2 used to be Penelope but I have a new one now so a new name is needed I guess...
On topic though. My laptop's named Sigmund. After Infinite Undiscovery's Sigmund. And my tablet is named Tobias. I forget why, I think it's just because I like the name. 8/
