That would be Joffrey, not Geoffrey, and I don't watch GoT

I named mine after the case's product line name; Obsidian. Way easier to identify the computer on a network when it has a unique name and if you're into building/modding it's going to happen eventually :)

Mine is called "Martin-PC". Really cool, right?

My laptop is called "Martin-laptop", my phone is "Martin-phone" my tablet is "Martin-tablet" etc.

My storage devices on the other hand... They are named after anime characters and are related to how big chest the character has. Bigger capacity = named after character with bigger chest.

 

Just pick a theme and stick with it. Planets, Greek alphabet, Disney characters, classic games, Shakespeak characters, Zelda enemies, natural phenomenons related to space (like "Aurora", "Penumbra" etc), elements etc.

Greg is an awesome name. Plus it's a homage to my Skyrim High Elf playthrough, Greg the High Elf

my opinion, its just stupid naming a pc, and why are they always such cheesy names "hi this is my pc RED DEATH"

Namimg a pc is not stupid as long as it doesn't has a ridiculous name like you mentioned. Maybe a combination of code and number. XT 1500, or some sort, that is what companies do.

mine is "Good Computer" when it is working perfect and so far in the almost 2 months I have had it built it has been " good computer" When one of my computers acts up it is whatever 4 letter word I feel like calling it that day lol. I really just call my desk top my main system and my laptop the laptop, maybe if I was like some of you guys and had 15 computers I would name them all.

I name my desktops Zero because they die so much. My most recent desktop was Zero IV.

 

I name my Routers after support units.

 

My routers are Beat, Treble, and Yoshi(for my DS and Wii).

As a long time Network Administrator I tend to stick with the same naming conventions I use professionally. 

[First Initial][Last Name]-[Device Type]

i.e.

 

JDOE-PC

JDOE-LAPTOP

 

Pretty Spartan, but old habits die hard.

Don't really have one, but if I did it might be Smokey. Why you might ask. Well this motherboard has started smoking twice now running on two cracked capacitors and burnt/melted solders. Still don't know how long it'll last. Hopefully till summer to upgrade again.
