I have called my pc's a variety of things over the years ... currently they are Up, Down, Server and Laptop ... because ... well ... thats what they are...
I used to call the pc's at work according to the user or the location ... so they are fatlad, corner, other corner, baldy, new server, old server, print server and bigtits ... there are more ... but I won't repeat them here...

currently it doesn't warrant a name, although the missus is fond of calling it the bl88dy peice of cr*p everytime it crashes due to FFXI not liking the drivers for cards over 5900, so everything after 71.00 from nvidia basically
Causes either a BSOD or just kicks her to windows.
works fine for all my games and apps.

I have "Covenant" for network purposes (was going for an EBM theme) but ended up with a laptop called "ickleiBook"
The Register ran a similar poll, and one of the best examples of poor taste in naming was "Bambi" and "Thumper" - located in an Animal Research lab!

My main rig is called BigBlue (pinched from IBM) and the backup rig is LittleBlue.
Just looking through my company's network at the server names and it's clear that our IT guys are on something. Here's a selection:
Cosmos, DiscWorld, GreySlayer, ItsMyName, Merlin, SuperNova
and my personal favourite:
WibbleWibble :D

But all these boxes run only Unix-like OS's and we don't use Windows networking at all any more, so the names are kinda irrelevant now. FWIW, our various routers assign consistent, reserved IP addresses via DHCP. Networking (both peer-to-peer & client-server) is done via sshfs to the various pre-defined IP addresses (together with root- and user-level shell commands via ssh).
So our days of calling boxes exotic names like Dr-Dream and Slartibartfast are a dim and distant memory I'm afraid. lol.

When I got my Centurion case I sat down to name the machinery, I sat in long thought on the porcelain throne until a bright light shone in my head, and in the eternal words of the legendary Rowan Atkinson in the first series, I pronounced that "I shall call (it), the Black... Vegetable...!"
And thus, the Black Vegetable was born...

Mine are.
Maria
Alyss
Gir
Normally goes hand in hand with a set of rotating desktops and themed Icons for the PC's.
Maria from Silent hill 2, Alyss is a general Alice in wonderland-Mcgee alice-Frank Beddor computer and Gir is just Gir as he is just damned cute.
Next rig will likely be Giger.
