my motorcycle's name is Vera (5 points to whoever gets the reference) and my PS3 is named HAL, my 360 is Roger, and my computer is #$%@!

"I call her Vera."
- Jayne Cobb (Adam Baldwin), to Mal Reynolds (Nathan Fillion), Firefly, episode 6: "Our Mrs. Reynolds"

In the same vein, my iPod is named "Mr. Universe," and has "Can't stop the signal" engraved on the back.

My computer is J4RV1S, and my family's computers back home are HAL and Sonny.

My computer is called the Arbitrary. I don't have a name for my xbox.

Also, super-points to anyone who gets what I'm referencing.

I was debating between that and "You can't take the sky from me" for a while. I'm surprised LadyZephyr up there didn't get it, seeing as how both the things she named are blatant Firefly references.

My 360's hard drive is "Xyperspace", most of my computer hard drives are archives, so they get named "Archive 1", "Archive 2", and so on.

Otherwise, I normally jus call them by their "predetermined" names.

My computer is named "The Mountain" I'm not exactly sure why, but it just is. My second hard drive, where all my backups, (completely legit) music and other such nonsense is stored is called "Drive of Holding".

My laptop usually gets called mr. Nasa, because it's made from bits stolen from NASA because it is the most powerfull out of all of my friends' laptops.
My PC is usually called THE ALTAR OF BELPHEGOR, since it is slow as feck.

I never name anything, unless it's actually alive.

My PC has a network name, based off my online nick but that's so people actually know it's me.

Should my PC become self aware, it will inevitably be named Skynet.

My PC has no particular name, but sometimes I call it "Work you piece of shit" or "OH COME ON!"

I actually use voice commands alot for all of my computers - a superfast work-funded one, my leisure one (though I often mix the two machines) and my laptop.

With a boundary mic for all of them I ended up having to que them to only accept commands after a certain sound witch i attributed to a name.

So now I have Alice, Charlotte and Liz.

You can only have fun with it for about 5 minutes every week?

Hm, hard to know whether that has sexual connotations.

By the way, does anyone know how/if you can rename your Wii? I don't know what I'll do if we break up. Maybe just leave it the same, but that might be depressing - I named my Mii after him, too.

I'm sorry i can't take this...why would you name your Mii after your "boyfriend".. are you retarded. Your the same person..your not fooling anyone you whoever.. what ever.. of an attention whore. Your not the first dude to post some ridiculous unbelievable chick pic as an avatar and see how many people will notice you.. stop being lame. make a new forum profile preferably a real one and just pretend that any of this never happened. Your insulting the rest of us, and nobody can take u seriously. and if they do. shame on them.

PC is PC. He rejected all the names because of an overclocked sass back chip.

Hah, I like that.

My PC is called 'My PC'. I'm upgrading it this Christmas.

For the record, anyone wanting to find a Dell-approved power supply need to go to PC Power and Cooling and look for the Silencer series. Those will certainly work in Dell systems.

No, that wasn' an Ad, just something for posterity.

My brothers 360 is called **** you, after one time he called Microsoft and he said "**** YOU IS BROKEN AGAIN!" and he wonders why the keep 'losing his information'

My Wii is called Ow, because I was in tremendous pain for 3 days after using it.
My PS3 only knows one name "Needs Backwards compatibility." it got that name after my PS2 finally breathed it's last a few, months ago, an old PS2 to be sure.

I joke with my brother about how his Crash Box Three Shitty is doing, all he does is glare at me and mumble about how he's trading it in for a PS3.

Then again he's the person who NEEDs a 360, totally the stereotype of a 360 player (He plays Pro Evo on it and swears a lot. the only thing is he doesn't have live, cause he's cheap)

My current pc as well as my consoles (PS2, PS3, Atari 2600) go nameless.

When you get through all of those, you can start mixing it up. "Bullhammer," "Jacksaw," "Hackdriver," "Piledozer" . . .
