My Compaq is Victor, for Vista, and it's fast. My Dell is Expelliarmus , the Harry Potter spell, because it's a great gaming machine, and I run lots of FPS games on it. And, my laptop's name is xenagogue , because a xenagogue is a guide, and If you don't treat the laptop right, it will not be nice to you. So, yes, I name my computers. Having trouble with naming the iPod Touch, though :) I name my computers with the letter of the OS they start with.
