I have a tradition of naming things. It started with cars.
Honda Civic - Vladimir Cliff, or Vlady for short Chev Sprint - Vlady Too Honda Accord - Nuanda the Honda - dedicated to the Dead Poets Society Alero - Maximilian
Then there were my cats.
Tellulah - the peach colored domestic short hair schizoid Oberon - big fat black and grey swirl named after the King of the Faeries in a Midsummer Night's Dream
And then there was my first laptop:
Craptop - an Acer that went in for repair more than a dozen times in the first year, and actually spent two weeks there, followed by four hours at home after being delivered by the courier, followed by another two week stay.
And there was another laptop after the craptop, but I didn't name it.
And now there's this one. I'm seriously considering naming it, but need some ideas.

Sephiroth is cool because it equals FF7 and you can't go wrong with FF7 Or Vincent. So it's definetly male? All of my electronics are female except for Vasilly

Another hint. If you haven't figured it out already, I like unusual. As in, not normal, not usual, not common. Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

I personally like mythology names. In fact, Josh and Bernard's laptops were named by me: Nukua, the Chinese goddess of order and Eris, the Greek goddess of discord. My laptop (also a Dell, btw--you're in for a trip) is named Nanashi, which is Japanese for No Name.
Some ideas for you: Aries--the Greek god of war was actually a renowed coward. Ate--Greek goddess of mischief, evil and misfortune. She was thrown out of Olympia by Zeus after causing trouble. Adikia--Greek goddess of injustice Saa--Egyptian personification of intelligence Imhotep--Yes, the mummy from the hit movie series was actually a real person. He designed the Stepped Pyramid and after his death was raised to the status of god of intelligence, architecture and medicine.

I never heard of anyone naming a car with a male name. I've only ever given my cars female or gender-neutral names (Old Bess, Big Red, Dreadnought).
I vote for Martha or Sydney (as in Stewart and Bristow).

Pyewacket - if it's going to be your familiar
Biff - generic name for a generic male laptop
Cletus Wayne - I don't even KNOW where that came from
Loki - aren't all computers mischevious?
Nothing else really interesting comes to mind. Our computers at home are all named after Trek shios - Enterprise (the hubby) Defiant (mine) and Voyager (guest bedroom/3rd pc). I'm interested to see that all of you have male cars. Mine is a girl, and her name is Bettie. She's a big beautiful black Trailblazer with Bettie Page stickers all over. But then again, I live in Texas, and we all name our trucks down here

Gates--that way if the best happens Bill will find out, be impressed that you named your computer after him, and leave you a couple mill. If the worst happens and the computer dies, you can always say "The enemy Gates is down".

My computer is named Shuichiro after a comic character that was ressurected from death. As was my laptop. Posts: 4816 | Registered: Apr 2003

As I think about it, I ponder the meaning of "Halfrekt" and wonder if that would just be providing a prophesy for this laptop to live up to? I don't think I want to jinx it that way.
So my current short list has become:
Cletus Wayne Bilquis Nureyev Ramone (pronounced Rrrramone!)
Any other suggestions?
