Yes actually, it is normal to name your computer. In fact if you network it it's required. This one is Althea and a friend of mine named his Chun (think Remo Williams).
Can you say LAN party?
A conversation I had today:
So is that normal? Not just with computers either, but others things like cars and even toasters. Admittedly I have named a few of my toy animals, but that's not the same thing though... or is it? I'm not sure anymore.Sib says:
Micom?
I won... and may never win again. says:
Yeah.
Sib says:
What's that?
I won... and may never win again. says:
What do you mean? Micom is Micom.
Sib says:
What's Micom?
I won... and may never win again. says:
Not what. Who.
Sib says:
?
I won... and may never win again. says:
lol, my computer.
Sib says:
You named your computer? lol
I won... and may never win again. says:
Yes. Haven't you?
Sib says:
Ermm... no, can't say I have actually. ^^;;
Sib says:
But why did you call it Micom?
I won... and may never win again. says:
(It's a she), and Micom just means 'My Computer' really. MECOMP > MICOM
I won... and may never win again. says:
Get it?
Sib says:
Not really. ^^;;
Hmmm... He's not technically human, so it wouldn't really be like cannibalism...

I named mine Agatha after the pre-cog from Minority Report. Eh....it fits i guess....but over the past year i end up calling it stupid peice of sh*t more than anything else..
Thanks to Microsoft's "My ___" theme, users kinda have to name their computer, whether or not they're on a LAN. It'll end up being called OEMCOMPUTER or something anyway.
People always seem to name cars, maybe as a carryover from sailors naming ships. I just call mine "the Matrix" (Tokyo 2040, Priss's bike is just "Moto-slave" and it has an AI!). I'm not sure about people naming toasters, but there are probably other household appliances that get names based on their "personalities".
