My Pandora is called HansGiebenrath, after the protagonist of one of my favourite novels. My Notebook is called PillarOfAutumn, after a ship in one of my favourite video games. And my NAS is called Elysium.
 
what is the obsession with naming your computers? i see so many people doing it. i dont understand it

^ That terminal is not for the computer I'm currently sitting by. That's why I bother naming my computers, so that I can tell them apart.

I name my computers after South Park characters.

My pandora had the hostname "Ike".
 
I just kept Pandora for mine. My wife refers to her as my lover. She claims that I spend more to time with Pandora than with her. Which is of course not true but I guess my wife just like to play that game of jealousy.
 
I only named my first batch Pandora..


Super CC Sugru edition

The case was cracking and I tried to patch it with Sugru after someone posted they used it to fill some cracks.. Shortly after I did this, I saw people saying it wasn't all that great to use.. So now I have a lump of the stuff were the hinge broke and it sort of tilts the screen at a slight angle, but it seems to be holding it in place..

 
 
I give all my devices colorful hostnames. 

My Pandora's hostname - PureAwesome - Because it's pure awesome!

My Asus Transformer TF300T - Starscream - Because Transformers,,, Starscream...Obviously. I mean I have an old school Decepticon sticker on it for God's sake.

My Desktop PC - CheapSlut - Because the Cheap Slut got a network born virus before I could install an anti-virus the first time I installed Windows on it. Had to format and re-install less than one day after birth. Slut.

My #! File Server - Datawhore - I'm not saying it's a whore, but it's a filthy stinking whore.

My #! Laptop - ElCheapo - Because It's a great laptop that I got for 50$ at a yardsale because it was "Infected with a virus." HA! I took it to the local coffee shop and had Linux on it before I finished my English muffin. 

My cellphone - Vindicator - Because I love me some Vindicators arcade action... No other reason. :D

Goldenie .... ...and the GHZ one:

Sibernie :p

(because i am a Pfälzer :rolleyes:   )

I don't 'get' pet-names for things; but hostnames, certainly; a pandora must have one, after all...

'felch' for one (original dev unit), and 'roadkill' for the other (as in .. touch my effing pandora, and you are roadkill :)

Like skeezix, I don't give names to my devices, just hostnames:
- laptop   : Mokona       ( comes from Mokona Modoki, my favourite xxxHolic character )
- pandora  : Modoki       ( idem )
- cellular : Stormbringer ( it's handheld, black, with changing characters on it )
- tablet   : Lag          ( Had to wipe it clean to make it boot in less than 10 minutes )
- ps3      : Monolith     ( "It's full of dust" )

I thought that was the hole point of this thread
 
Yeah, if we're talking about the name you get to give your pandora when installing a fresh firmware (and that shows up in a BASH prompt), then mine is "zxdunnyssmallblackpandora".

Terminal work is awkward.
