@Em0nM4stodon I've done names of squads from CoD. Now I'm on ancient gods from the Cthulhu Mythos. I've thought about naming devices after famous swords, etc. I think I did starships once.

Plenty of ideas laying around. 😉

@Em0nM4stodon Desktops are all named after the case in which they were originally housed.

Phones are named after an angry feeling about the previous phone I had (brick, paperweight, scratch).

Kindles are named after firestarter synonyms (bic, flint, tinder, chips).

@Em0nM4stodon My wifi is named “BLM” and “QAnons are Pedos” I live in a small apartment complex where there are 4 to 6 apartments per building. And last night when I went to use the bathroom I noticed there were a line of police officers parked behind my building. I had a momentary paranoia where I was worried if they would be able to figure out that the BLM Wi-Fi belongs to this apartment.

They can’t, can they?? I think they can tell it belongs to this building, but I’m hoping they can’t narrow it down to this apartment.

@Em0nM4stodon Funny, when I was a teenager, and there was no such problem, I still named things: my cameras, my radio, my enlarger, camera flash, my lenses. The wide angle was obviously named Seymour.

(I’ll show myself out)

@Em0nM4stodon I've always given my devices names. They usually fit their personalities. Off the top of my head some of mine are The Beast, Yuuto, Natsuki, Ramesh, Subject Sixteen, Subject Four (on brand, it didn't work very well), Draig (this laptop), FT (it's hefty, but it actually stands for 'fucking thing,' which I said a lot while moving it), and Teeniepig. (There are others I've forgotten.) My phone is called Nosy Nosy.

I'd hate to name one after me. It'd keep forgetting what it was doing.

@Em0nM4stodon wait, people don't already do this just as a regular thing?
