What's In A Name?

[fae_boleyn]

So, I guess this counts as a meme of sorts. Do you name your technology/kitchen appliances/whatever? And if so, what has a name and what are the names?

Here are mine:
Laptop: Arthur (yes, as in the Inception point man)
iPod: Mark Smeaton (he got beheaded, so this is why it died, isn't it?)
MP3 player: Austria (it makes sense in Hetalia context!)
Kindle: Tris (after a Tamora Pierce character who is a major bookworm)
Coffeepot: Ianto (if you watch Torchwood, this makes sense)
My fic flash drive: Daemon (It's always with me, like a daemon in the His Dark Materials books)

It's half my fandoms in microcosm! It's kind of silly, and also utterly ridiculous, but hey, it's fun.

hahaha. I've always named my tech, too. :)

My original two laptops were Navi (after the computers in Lain), my desktop is Serenity (after the ship in Firefly) and Jason's computer was Valkyrie, which are the ships in Macross. My Nook is Ariadne and my netbook is Tosh. :)

Mine are sort of named. My computers are named after the Four Horsemen... up until I accidently ended up with more electronics than Horsemen (I was supposed to be named the 4 OS's differently, but now I have something like 6).

I don't tend to name the rest of my tech. I probably should as it would be highly amusing.
