I've got a pretty standard naming scheme at my house. I wonder if anyone can guess what it's centered around? Hmm...

Desktop: Zeus
Laptop: Hermes
iPod: Apollo

I'll probably change it around to another mythology eventually, such as Japanese or Norse, though the idea of changing it to Aztec mythology doesn't appeal very much to me, as I would likely kill myself trying to remember how to properly type Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli for a computer.
Although it isn't quite as bad as Aztec mythology, all of our computers at work are named after body parts, drugs, or other random science names. (usually they have to do with brains) It isn't that bad with the Neurons (our laptops), but some of the desktop names I can't remember, for example one is named after some complex brain chemical, the one I usually use is named acetaminophen. My computers don't have much in the way of names, my first flash drive was named ShutUp for a while, but when I got my second, I decided to go to a semi-alphabetical system. #1 is now named Aleph and #2 is Baker.
