Need a new computer name :D

[Jetster]

Naming your computer "Computer" reminds me of the Who's on first bit. I user to name mine "Living room" and so on but it gets confusing when looking at network paths and your have moved rooms.

I find it best to name your machines for what their purpose is. This comes from running several data centers and web hosting businesses. Let me show you an example:

HWorkstation1 - Home workstation 1
HWorkstation2 - Home workstation 2
FServer1 - File Server 1

I stopped naming computers after star wars planets in high school because I learned that it didn't help me at all when designing infrastructure for cisco based networks.

I try and do practical names a lot like tatty does, for instance the PC in my room was called 'room'. then I moved to Paris, my pc here is called 'Paris'

but I think you should call yours Mittens

 

[boise49ers]

New name : )

I like the New Name I gave mine since Cooling it off with a new case.

 

[Widjaja]

Depends what you want to go for.

Attitude type name:- T3RM1N8R K1LLA or something along those lines.

Or something out of the ordinary:- Muppet, NancyBoy, TheDandy.

Since I did not have a place in particular where I was keeping my PC at the time I called it the imaginative.....MINE.

 

[qubit]

I've called my domain controller: AfterBurner

I've called my domain: blackhole.tachyon.ftl

Man, I'm just overloaded with awesome.

 

[lilkiduno]

what about avalanche, blizzard (Bl1zZ4Rd), or something that may have something to do with snow since the case will be white. hell i just named mine H3X becase the hexacore processor. so i am very original!

 

[St.Alia-Of-The-Knife]

how about "Pr0nM4ch1ne" lol

 

[KingPing]

I like to name my PCs like WW2 nose art. My PC "Classy Gal" is the nose art of the P-38J i use in IL2 Sturmovik

 

[kuroikenshi]

late to the party but how about some Wapanese? ShiroiHige (White Beard)

 

[St.Alia-Of-The-Knife]

i dont have a computer name anyway
my main is called "PC" and my secondary is PC2

 

[trickson]

I named mine crash !

 

[jsfitz54]

Casper the Ghost.

 

[Tatty_Two]

If the OP does not choose his name soon this is moving to GN.... I am losing the will to live!

 

[m4gicfour]

My computers have practical names like others have suggested, but I stupid-ify it up a bit. I call my gaming machine JAY-GAMIE and my laptop JAY-LAPPY. My HTPC is NET-THEATRE but I was thinking of renaming it VISTA-SUCKS

as for your PC... name it White out. Then write all over it. Or call it mittens.

BUT NOT MARMITE!!!!!1!one

name it after something you like, for example you could call it Dr pepper, or kittens (but not marmite, I've just decided to call my pc that)

Marmite is terrible.
Good for a lol

So basically I want to name my new build. Usually I give a dumb name to my builds, like InerTia* (Custom graphics on my last build).

So basically I just ordered myself a white Phantom so I need a name. Sounds really immature but its my thing.

Suggestions? Sig Rig.

So, what name did you pick for it?

 

[BarbaricSoul]

So, what name did you pick for it?

check his system specs, it's there.

 

[qubit]

check his system specs, it's there.

Thanks. A post to make this clear would have been appropriate though.

 

[digibucc]

mine are:
i7pc, htpc, and server. i know, i'm unimaginative

 

[qubit]

mine are:
i7pc, htpc, and server. i know, i'm unimaginative

But it works.

 

[m4gicfour]

I think I'll rename my computer "captain datapants"

 

[ironwolf]

I name all my servers at work (web, mail, firewall, DNS, file etc.) after rocks. Naming them what function they are was lame LOL.

 

[WhiteNoise]

I know I'm in the minority here but I never understood why someone would name their PC. I see it all the time. Almost always on a new build...and I always chuckle a little and wonder why?

 

[digibucc]

so like, basalt and chalk? what about metamorphic, volcanic, etc?

when you're dealing with one set of machines you can remember and translate unique names, but that takes a lot more processing power when you manage 250+ different machines. at that point it would be absolutely ridiculous to make yourself remember 250+ rock types and associate them with the machines they are and what they do.

I know I'm in the minority here but I never understood why someone would name their PC. I see it all the time. Almost always on a new build...and I always chuckle a little and wonder why?

why do people name cars and boats? i don't get it either, it's just one of those things people do. like i said: server, htpc, & i7pc.... oh, and "laptop"
