All of my computers have or had names, so that they could be identified on a network. They've been known as:

Mac Classic II: Charlie
Macintosh Performa 6320CD: Alexis
Dell Dimension 4300: Algernon
iBook: Anastasia
Linux workstation/server: Matteo
iBook G4: Kyra

Like Flowers for Algernon, weird story. Cute, but definately weird.

Paco!
Or Pacho!
Bob.
Larry.
Taniqua.
Moniqua.

Idk, seriously, the names could go on forever. But I did name my camera Paco. He's so sexy.

Indeed. Actually, you'll note that the names of not one, but two, of the computers allude to Flowers for Algernon. wink.gif

I thought the dude's name was "Charley." I don't know, I haven't read it since middle school. Great story though. I should read that over the summer.

My computer doesn't really have a name, but my iPod and my digital camera have names. 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?
