How do y'all come up with names for your builds?

I've been trying to think of a name for months at this point, and it's been so long that the placeholder name (when you translate it to English, it becomes "Ash's PC") has become the unofficially official name.

 

How are y'all so creative and come up with good names you actually like?

They tend to be something that also describes at least part of the build. 

Mine is from being a 5800x and 6800xt in a sub 14 liter case.

Needless to say it was pretty hot in there before I started playing with undervolts.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

My main PC's name is Desktop-TJ84TBK. It's what Windows called it, and since my dad never changed it, it's what we all knew it as and it's what I'm calling it.

I name everything else based on what it is/who owns it/what symbolizes - so for my Minecraft server, it's called Phenom (because it has a Phenom II X4 955), my legacy machine will be called Pentium 2000 (it has a Pentium III and will have Windows 2000), once I build a machine in my Optiplex 3020 case I'll call it Agent 3020, and so on.

Please, do something else, it's not healthy for you naming your pc that long.

Go to a doctor or something.

Usually you try to look cool by coming up with a single-word name that matches the theme of your build/setup, or has something to do with your build, or interests, ect. lol. 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

I do play games and learn HTML on it (you think online school sucks? Imagine online college), this is just a thought in the back of my mind and I am visiting a therapist for unrelated reasons, but thank you for worrying about me

What about doing something like this? Project "No name" with "No name" translated could make it sound much more mysterious.

Greek and Norse mythology are my friend, I guess. Current server (which used to be my daily) is Athena, my next one will be Loki, and my next desktop will be Apollo. The ones that break the mold are my desktop, laptop, and XP rig (the first two are just named after what model they are, and the XP rig being Zenith). But whenever I do the next iteration of the XP build, it'll probably be something else, maybe Ares.

It's the "system name" in Windows. Needs a name, pick something.

I guess I've found the name I want! 

 

Thanks to all of you who suggested stuff, but although I'm choosing this one for me, I'm not marking a solution for the sake of other people who stumble onto this thread in the future (god my english is a trainwreck).

Should be a stimulant like the adderall, but I guess you have first hand experience. Only stimulant I (ab)use is coffee.

But not going down the substance rabbithole..

I thought of naming mine "Esther", but my parents felt it was weird to call a PC a female name (or a male name for that matter), so had to cancel that plan. : /
