Does your computer have a name?

I name my file servers at home and at work after Mythical Gods and such.

Odin
Thor
Loki
Asgard
Ullr
Grendel
Hades
Isis
Horus
Rah
Raiden
Monkey (the handsome monkey king to be exact)
so on and so forth


So on and so forth. My work machines are FQDN systems so we use a formula at work to make sure they are all named to a convention. Any thing that I set up aside for my department like file servers, wiki and web servers, and stuff that only we use internally I get to name.

I also name my flash drives individual names because in Unix/Linux/OS X systems they are all mounted under a certain path by volume name, and if you have multiple entries of the same name you get (1), (2), and (3) and etc past the name which gets annoying when doing things from the command line

Now I don't actually name my desktops at home anything special, unless of course it is a server of some sort then I name it a mythical being.

I manage thousands of computers for my job, so it gets boring just having conventional names. A few years ago I started naming them after Norse Gods and kind of went from there.

I don't name them like Betsy or Martha or anything like that. I don't think of them as ladies either like some people do, or like others do with their cars. They are just pieces of technology.

I would also never say I am going home to play on my computer to my friends nor would I really want to do that. I prefer to be social and go out, though I think I need to change my social habits soon so I can save more money. It is expensive to go out.

And from what I understand from all the other forums I haunt, most people do name their PCs. This is the first forum I've seen where naming your PC is considered a joke.

I previously owned a Dell Dimension 2100. So therefore, my own rig is called Dimension2100. I don't know why. It just stuck.
