My main server is named Postulate (an idea that you assume for the sake of argument), my desktop is named Axiom (a proved postulate), and my backup server is named Corollary (an idea that follows from an axiom).
What are your computers named, and why?

having read all these other comments, i’m now feeling like i should come up with a more creative naming scheme… for what it’s worth, my phone is named
bob.I recommend flavours of popcorn: Caramel, Cheesy, Buttery, etc. And Bob.
I name mine after Futurama characters because there’s a lot of them and I found a cool icon set to use.
Desktop: Cerberus (triple monitors)
Media server: Alexandria
Firewall: HadrianServers and computers get Ankh-Morpork street names.
The robot vacuum cleaner is GLaDOS.
My PC is named Shai’tan, and my laptop Astraea. As for why, it’s because I am into fantasy.
Are you crazy, naming the Dark One like that?!
