My computer... *gasp*.... needs .... *rattle-y exhale*... a new.... *rasp*... name...

I find my computer in need of a name. Any suggestions?

Naturally I thought of Marvin or Eddie, but that's just asking for trouble. Why do nice, normal, well-adjusted computers in books I've read never have names?

Mine is sirius, after the star. My desktop is orion. Choose a theme you're ioto and name from there. OUr department's computers are all named after solar system bodies. I've got Oberon.

I've in the past gone with Mycroft (the moon is a harsh mistress), euclid (the computer in the movie Pi), and Ono Sendai (the brand of computer (laptop) Case has in Neuromancer). I'm sure there are plenty of 'em out there. If it's a mac you might consider "7 of 9." Pretty, but ultimately kinda stupid.

Maybe because they're nice, normal, and well-adjusted.

Come to think of it, maybe this is why Peet has issues...

Hah! You could name it REpeet. :P I crack myself up.
