Do You Name Your Gadgets?

Remordere

Android Enthusiast
I usually name my gadgets, specially my phones. It more personal that way, and I don't really like calling it by its brand name or its company given name. It gives my things more personality, if you know what I mean. Whenever I buy a new gadget I always have a "naming ceremony" and name it something I always associate with it.

My Acer laptop name is "Oreo" because of its black and white design. My Samsung phone is "Sammy" for obvious reasons,my Nokia's "Houdini" because it is always getting out of my pocket and bag, and our family calls my Dad's N8 "Dham" because he always asked "Where's my Dham phone?"

My brother calls his iPhone 4 "SJP" for Steve Job's P****. Whenever he flashes his phone he says "I'm flashing Steve Job's P****!"
 
I do... :) my phone is "SD" or "Sly Dog" because it slips out of my pocket so i can never find it.
My camera is "oh shiney" because thats what my lil sis said when she first saw it.
My flip i call "bleepbloop" because when you turn it on and off
And my computer is "mr. upgrade" self explanitory
 
I named my desktop chimera.

It has

MSI - 890 gxm mobo
Western digital HDD 750gb
AMD 955 BE ocable to 4 ghz stable.
Corsair water cooler.
G. SKill ram
Gigabyte 6870
and another
gigabyte 6870.

I will probably name my next phone.. but, my lg neon isn't really deserving of a name..
 
The only gadget I have ever named is the amplifier I built in high school Electronics class back in the 80's. I called it "Soundmaster". I used it for about 10 years before retiring it. Not sure where it is, but I still worked when I last used it over a decade ago.
 
Just got my Motorola Bravo, Mon. I think I will call it licorice because I love black licorice and the phone is black.
 
I often call my Nokia 5800 as "tube" because it's early project name was that.
My EeePC, nettop is called just as "E" cos' it's short :P
For HTC Desire I have name but i guess it sounds damn dumb in English, but in Finnish it's
cool; Dessu.
 
Icall my droid Johnny 5. As it seems to be "alive" it will dial people at random and I am not touching the phone.
 
Ive named my mountain bike Mona the Kona and my old car was called Vera the Vectra, i havent named my wildfire yet but will do wen the perfect name pops into my head.
