grayfox35937yAll my computers (PC or laptops) have or had names. In part because when I install Linux it asks for one and then I got it as a habit.
My work PC is called Chloe (Uncharted series) and my home laptop is called Kitana (MK series).
I've had Amanda, Agustina, Zelda, Ling-Yi... -
Computers yes, I have Charles (named for professor Xavier), GlaDOS (portal of course)I, and Darwin (because it's a more evolved form of the GlaDOS laptop). My work computer is grossmac because I've always disliked apple. I haven't named a phone in a while.

I call all my computers linuxxx. That's actually where my username derived from! (you have to give your computer a name on Linux so yah)

Well, otherwise I would forget the names every time! -
cuidas1567yI started naming all my devices with names taken from former and current players of VfB Stuttgart :) It's a lot of fun when a new device comes up and you have to think of matching characteristics of those players, for example my printer is called "hitzlsperger" because he is the only player of which i'm sure he knows the whole alphabet :P

My little brother started naming his computers (and servers) after muppets, so I joined in. I now have elmo, kermit and waldorf 😀

Work/School laptop: Lucca (From the game Chrono Trigger)
Other laptop: Setsuna (from the game I Am Setsuna) -
My previous laptop was called "Ol' Monster", and my first pc was called Paddy, for some reason.
My current laptop is called BarTeO, because the brand is BTO and I added some letters to make it logical.

Do you give your PC or Smartphone (or printer etc) a name?
Like: I called my Laptop "Momo" (Reference: Michael Ende, I never read nor watched it but I liked the drawing style)
And my Phone "Ori" (Reference: Ori & the blind Forest, I never played it, only saw a some gameplay)
