Aww, I totally thought it was a StrongBad reference. You should go with that.

I do not get to name my computer at work since it's on a corporate LAN and they'd probably be upset if I broke something. Our servers have pretty cool names, though, including Mystery Machine, Cobain, Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin. Those are all internal machines, as best as I can tell. Externally, our customers' data resides on machines named after elements of the periodic table.

At home, our LAN computers use "kaiju" names -- Godzilla, Mothra, Orga and King Ghidorah, if I recall correctly. The laptop I use every day is Microsoft Asset # such and such.

I'm pretty sure my XBox has a name, too, but I have no idea how to get to it without plugging it into a LAN with another XBox.
