Silly Survey Sunday: What's in a name?

also, my new ibook's name is Moriarty.

Each of my two PowerBooks has a girl's name. I chose the names based on my girl's name favorite (Daniela, Fernanda, Roberta) because in Spanish are Strong names. PowerBook's name: Daniela and Daniela II

My last Powerbook was named Havana and all the extra HDs were named after cities, Mew York, Paris, Madrid, etc... my current Powerbook set up is names Ocean of Wisdom, with all teh Hds names after Seas or Oceans, my PDA is now caled Imanja (Brazillian Godess of the sea) and last Xmas when my mom got an eMac (from me) I set it up as Mother Ocean. I like themes.

My 12in iBook is known as Cracker.

My computer still dones have a name. But my friends iPod is called Samueal L Jackson.

My machines have have some really odd names. My current 12" PBook is named Vera, while its 250GB LaCie External drive is named Juris. My 3rd Gen 20GB iPod is named BeatBox, while my 512MB Shuffle is named BoomStick. My WinBox is called Satan, while its 2 drives are called Devil and Lucifer. Now I just need a name for my Nano that should be here any day now.....

iMac G5 - Haven't gotten it yet, I'm going to name it Coco. Calih

I don't name my stuff with human names, rather, I use things I'll remember. My 30GB iBook G4 is called "iB30" My 60GB iBook G4 is called "iB60" My 40GB Firelite External HD is callled "fl40" My Green iPod mini is called "im4" My 512 mb iPod shuffle is called "is512" And so on. It's easy to remember.

I don't have that many devices ;-) I'm more sistematic, using buyer.model to identify them ;-) So, my computer's jdsant.PBG4, and my father's jdgarc.iMacG4 For disk drives, I always try to use names without spaces, because it's easier to navigate them with cd in the Terminal ;-) Besides, in pre-OS X days it was a security measure not to have your volumes with common names. Nowadays, the startup volume is always / ;-)
