Having just discovered that somebody named a server within their company "Batman," I got to thinking about some of the other strange names I've seen given to computers.
I've seen them named for characters from The Simpsons and Star Wars, the ships and the races (but not the characters for some reason) from Star Trek, types of handguns, types of assault rifles, types of tanks/mobile artillery, and types of aircraft. I used to work in one place where we clearly shouldn't have set up the servers so close to lunchtime, because they got named things like hushpuppy, cornbread, and catfish. I've also named boxes things like hatchling, dragonnette, wyrmkin, and ramparts (that was the firewall, could you guess? ::G::).
What about you? What names have you given to your computer(s), or what odd names have you seen?
