Mine are all named after Heather Nova albums - Storm, South, Siren, Oyster, GlowStars, Blow. Unfortuately Heather Nova has less (studio) albums than I have computers, so there's also "Laptop" and "Obi-Lan" and the router is called "Obi-Wan" .

It was getting a bit ridiculous, things now stand as:
Frequently Used:
Storm - Main development machine
Oyster - database server
Glowstars - games machine
Redbird - New Laptop and new Heather Nova album
Obi-Wan - Router

Infrequently Used / propably time to part
Laptop - called dazberry not "laptop" as above
Blow - test environment
Obi-Lan - webserver and spam collector

Sold or given away
South - gone
Siren - gone

... and this naming convention is useless as I still get confused between blow and glowstars all the time.
