I'm sure there's more than one person on this forum who affectionately names inanimate objects, so let's share our embarrassing naming conventions!

I'll start first.

Xion D33
Type: Personal computer.
History: That's his full name right there, there's something interesting in his initials but that's for me to know and bored people to figure out. There isn't much of a story as to why I named him Xion. I just chose a name that began with X because his chassis is decorated with them ~~of course, I chose the chassis myself~~. Xion is the PC I do everything on.

Nix
Type: External HDD
History: A tiny external bought to back up Xion's most important files. Polar opposites but also just different sides of the same coin

Morte YP-U3
Type: Mp3 player
History: Morte is the first device I named. He was a B'day present from my high school friends ~~what the hell I used to go to school?!~~ and so I became affectionate and named him and his sister on the spot. They were named after their colours~

Ichigo
Type: Blankie
History: Yes, blankie. I called her strawberry because she was pink and cute. Okay? I don't actually like Bleach.

Cantilena
Type: Piano
History: She's like 10 years old, but I only named her recently. She's served me well over the years and deserves some love.

Virgil
Type: B'day present - I mean, DS Lite
History: 1 year after Morte, my friends gave me a Virgil. Aww, I wub them

Virgil has actually met and befriended Lucent, a somewhat older female DS Lite who accidentally got dropped a few times.

Aaaand that's it~ ~~What do you mean that's it? You mean holy [parasitic bomb] it finally ended man~~
Unless anyone is interested in the fact that I named my current USB 'Blues' because of its colour scheme and to give me an incentive to not leave it behind. My friends question my colour naming. I tell them it's a music genre.

I named my computer TaylorLynComp, and my DS is the DS.

I also named my flash drive TalynDrve3, since it's my third drive.

I haven't really named that many things...

Any of my electronic devices that specifically ask for a name (pc, ipod, external hdd) all get named after characters from Code Lyoko.

Mirby · **Reply #3 on:** March 22, 2011, 12:24:44 AM

Yeah, mine are named on an EXE-style naming system...

Krystal · **Reply #4 on:** March 22, 2011, 06:45:31 AM

Aww, you guys are boring. No way no way every place has people with interesting naming schemes~~~ I have a friend who names his computers EVA01 etc and apparently his network is NERV. I think.

My network is Skynet.

Yup.

Gotham Ranger · **Reply #5 on:** March 22, 2011, 06:47:23 AM

I only know one person who actually does this.

I just give my things a generic enough name to be identifiable. Though, I think labelled this new PC "GothamCity".

Protoman Blues · **Reply #6 on:** March 22, 2011, 07:18:58 AM

My car's nickname is the Thundertank.

I named my White PSP Blanco.

My iPod Touch's name is The Screen of Omens.

My Phone's name is R2D2, of course this is because it's the DROID R2D2 model.

My PS3's name is The Tower of Omens.

I name a LOT of stuff.

You have a car? Aww~ Jealous~~ What do your iPod and PS3 have to do with each other? ~~No one gives them genders?~~

It's Thundercats related. I tend to name some stuff after my favorite cartoon ever!

Gotham Ranger · **Reply #9 on:** March 22, 2011, 08:02:56 AM

No Blues references?

Hiryu · **Reply #10 on:** March 22, 2011, 06:11:00 PM

Sometimes I like to call my printer a few names, like "Piece of [parasitic bomb]" or "Stupid Douchebag"

Oh, so you're like my brother then, huh? He too buys expensive sunglasses... in fact, now that I think of it...

Kit · **Reply #13 on:** March 23, 2011, 06:17:15 AM

My car is Marina, as in Marina Liteyears from Mischief Makers.

My ipod is White Knight.

My 360 is Belle.

Rin · **Reply #14 on:** March 23, 2011, 06:52:17 AM

My old PC was called YOUFUCKINGPIECEOFSHITSTOPBREAKINGSODAMNMUCHARRRRGH.
My new PC is called

You know I don't think I've ever seen a blue screen of death on any of the computers I've had.

The only thing I named was my mom's old car and it was Death Trap or something along those lines. I don't know why I don't name my things.

Police Girl · **Reply #16 on:** March 23, 2011, 07:19:31 AM

My computer's name is Junker.

Because its getting scrapped when I get a new rig.

I buy expensive sunglasses! I did. Until my myopia got the better of me and I didn't like contacts enough to always wear them.

Oh wow, I didn't know PC names could be that long =O

That reminds me, Lucent's owner's computer is called 'Stupid', it really is =O And our laser printer is officially called '[sonic slicer]'. I don't think our parents noticed.

@Sakura: You...do use Windows...right?

Didn't you have a pair that were like silver or something? I remember us making a lot of jokes about some glasses you got...

Also, there's a keyboard I use that I call Cassie.

[spoiler=Reason]
Because it's a Casio... not too original, I admit...[/spoiler]

Krystal · **Reply #21 on:** March 25, 2011, 12:46:54 AM

It's okay Cassie is a cute name either way =w=b

I've never heard of a Windows machine that never Blue Screened. They all blue screen eventually, some faster than others depending on how much and how often you mess around with it. >_>!

Mirby · **Reply #22 on:** March 26, 2011, 12:05:11 AM

Mine never has!! The only blue screen on my lappy is in pictures I've gotten... probably from here.

Acid · **Reply #23 on:** March 26, 2011, 12:35:44 AM

Oh I have many names for my devices.
They range from "Piece of [parasitic bomb]" over "Useless piece of [parasitic bomb]" to "[tornado fang]ing piece of [parasitic bomb]".

They're all related by the way. They all have the same last name. All part of the family "go [tornado fang] yourself"

Krystal · **Reply #24 on:** March 26, 2011, 04:31:30 AM

Good to know there's a lot of love going around in your house =w=b
