My iPod is Rosaura and my camera is Rosario. I have a thing about Spanish names the begin with "Ros-" obviously. As for what you should name your computer, how about August? Or Octavian? |

You have a lot of computers, mipadi.
 And as for the actual naming of the laptop, I think Bob's too generic. Go with Bartholomew.  Annnnd yes, I name inanimate objects. Talk to them, too.

Well, Charlie only has a 16MHz processor, so he can't really put out that much computing power. And Algernon runs Windows, so you know he can't really do anything right.

My digicam is Lola, because I think it's a beautiful name. My PDA is Yukari, after one of my pet Koi fish. My cell phone is phoneBot. Hmmm, how about Magnus? Or Opitmus Prime? YAY! |

rofl, name it "sexy lexy"
it reminds me of this girl in 4th grade, when we were coloring pumpkins we had to give it a name, and she named hers "sexy lexy" and everyone was talking about how controversial it was. She started to cry, things went bad, and we didn't finish coloring them. :( |

I'm naming my first car Thomas =) (As in Thomas the Tank Engine)But that's besides the point. And yes Thomas IS a train, but still...
You should name your computer something that means something to you, like i dunno, the lead singer of your favorite band or something. Or get a friend to name it. That's how my fish became "Sunny D". I would name it...."ah, it's 2 am i need to go to bed" |
