I know I do. :] A bunch of my friends do, too.
I have names for most, if not all, of my electronic items and accessories; my reasoning behind this is that calling them by their product name seems a bit impersonal ... and after all, isn't that the entire statement behind your iPod, or your Laptop, or your Desktop, Wii, PS2, etc? Making them personal?
So, if you're one of theobviously insanepeople who like to name their electronics, feel free to discuss:
[1] The names of your respective electronic items.
[2] Why you chose those names.
[3] Why you believe naming your things is important, and how much fun it is!
[4] In the case that you don't, explain rationally why you don't believe names for your items are important. Please don't come in and say 'lol, u guys r crazy ppl 4 nameing ur items.' If you don't agree with these, please say it nicely and explain why.
As for me ...
My laptop's name is Kaoru. The laptop I had before this one was named Ascot. Kaoru's name is derived from one of the Hitachiin twins of Ouran High School Host Club, while Ascot is from Magic Knight Rayearth. I don't quite remember why I chose those names.
My cellphone's technical name is Alphonse. Derived from Fullmetal Alchemist, naturally. There's ... sort of an inside joke here. My friends and I used to type Cellphonse instead of Cellphone, which led to the name Alphonse for my phone.
I got an iPod nano today, and his name is Takeru, TK for short. :3 Derived from Digimon Adventure 01 and Digimon Adventure 02. My main reason for choosing Takeru as the name .. well, there's many reasons. One, because i'm involved in one of the greatest Livejournal roleplays i've ever had the pleasure of being associated with, and we have someone playing Takeru. Recently, there was a case in which three members of the daily chatroom continued to hear Takeru's 02 image song, Focus, all in one day. We dubbed this The Takeru Curse. My second reason is because it's green. <3 And Takeru's main color is green.
For the record, since buying the iPod and getting it set up, i've heard Be All Right, Takeru's 01 image song, several times. :]
Okay~ Now it's your turn! ^-^
