Network Device naming.

[Jason Marshall]

Got to chatting and found out im not the only one that themes naming of devices on my network. Im currently with a financial term theme because my newest PC build project was called "Sub-prime Mortgage" that resulted in a desktop named "Foreclosure"

Router: "SEC"
GBHs Laptop: "The Mint"
NAS: "Emergency Margin"
Archive tower(Slow NAS): "Federal Reserve"
mPC: "Ticker"
Playstation: "Short Sell"
Xbox: "Bag Holder"
Workstation(My business computer, legal software only): "Revenue"
Gaming PC: "Foreclosure"

Wireless Network name: Boobs

My dad calls the home network deep thought.

I have to to a double take to make sure I read it right every time I see it.

[LobbyZ]

PC1 = "Niggah"
PC2 = "Dat Spaintard"
Laptop1 = "Jumpin Jose"
Laptop2 = "KFC Man"
Laptop3 = "Derpin Durka"
Xbox = "Cornerwhore"
Dreambox = "Open Cunt"
Router = "Jenna Jameson"

Jason said it is Comic Sans day

Used to use computers from history and fiction, e.g. HAL 9000, COLOSSUS, although I was so in awe of my Antec 300 case when it arrived, that one became "Monolith". Now I just tend to use model number and owner name.

To many years of having to deal with other peoples 'Goofy' naming conventions at work, "what pc are you using sam" "ohh Lucysnewpc" wtf whyyy. So yea boring names, and on every network that I get my hands on or device if I am not the network manager! Jack boots right here tyvm.

[Sofia Roseburn]

Desktop: Soliton
MacBook: Rovruetz
Laptop: Monofilament

Router: asdfg

Gaming computer: fred2 (the original fred lasted through 10 years of incremental upgrades)
Other computer: bob
Home theater computer: HTPC
web/dns/dhcp/ebook server: frankenstein (It's a D800 laptop rebuilt using parts from 7 other D800s that were getting thrown away at work)
Laptop: I change the name based on what network I'm using it on. (e.g. college library has a lot of "DELL-<service tag>, so laptop also becomes DELL-<random numbers and letters>")

My wireless network is named with my last name, I consider that fair warning to the neighbors against messing with it.
