My computers at home are named from the x-men, hence these names are used:
WS: Wolverine (cause of the chassis)
Filesrv: Xavier

At work they are named from the old movie WarGames, but these are to many to mention all, examples would be
elmendrof
grandforks
loring
granpalace
brightboy
infirmary
underachiever
jim
melvin
jennifer
etc
all of these and more are in the .trondheim.no.apario.net domain, just check :)

The media system servers started out in the same name scheme as the work computers, with
lasvegas and
seattle, but when the media system became a standalone project the machines got their own name scheme, they are now named after major american cities that are the base for a TV series of some sorts, so now also
chicago is added

My info system servers got some psedu-mathematical jargon for names, as the first server was named
scaled
the display computers in the devel rig are named
unproportional
proportional
geometric
etc

My laptop(s) though the times have got standalone names, mosly variations of the type
attitude (my old dell latitude PC)
etc.

the most annoying name i use for a computer is
ronttla, also from wargames
the spice extend life!
the spice expand conciousness!
the spice is vital to space travel!
sooooo.. tell me what you want, waht you really-really want
I will proceed directly to the intravenous injection of hard drugs, please.

I hope at least one of them runs a telnet server with password "joshua" ;)

The next one you add should be named "group_homomorphism"...

My machines are named:
lethe (desktop, debian/sid)
styx (notebook, debian/sid)
charon (asus router, openwrt)

nemesis, main box. Athlon64 1.8GHz "Venice" core, 3GB, GF6600, ESI Juli sound card. Runs ubuntu. Has a 20" S-IPS LCD attached to it. The only audible noise from it is whatever comes out of the sound card, thanks to a careful selection of passively cooled components and slow-running 120mm case fans.

k6-2/400. The old nemesis, currently lacking a name. Has sound-absorbing foam intended for use in cars glued to its insides. Runs "kyrehat", what started off as an innocent redhat 7.2 install in '98 ended up over time as a distribution so bizarre no standard package would run on it.

For some reason my main machine is always called nemesis, there is a reason why this must be, but it is alas lost in time. The world might end should I dare call my main system anything else, that much I remember...

The rest of the machines:

jackass, 12" g3 ibook, runs jaguar. A broken internal display cable is the kink in this knight's armour. Oh, and the slow g3/500 in it. And the crappy 8MB ati rage128 graphics.

molass, ancient first-generation powermac 6100/66 with 486 daughtercard. Slow as molasses, hence the name. Serves as a monitor stand for my CRT.

A quirky RS/6000 with aix and a corporate-style machine name no one can remember, and two ataris round out my computer fauna. If one were to run a tank over the rs/6000, the tank would be sorry...
