Alex Shenoy Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I've come up with some names for my computer, but i don't like them. I have genom, mentis, and atrum. If anyone has any other names for a cool linux box, plz submit them. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/212424-creative-computer-name/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check song and record titles, sometimes you can get idea's from that. Movies, anime shows/characters are always good. Video games provide creative names (especially rpgs, etc). As an example, I have a bunch of computers, and they all have names like: Synthesis, Synbios, Wynbios, Neverwinter, Tetsuo, etc. And sometimes people name their computers so they know which is which when they are looking at them thru a network.

hadiz Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 That's true, but save at work I've never had more than one PC. In that case, our work computer naming conventions are easy. PRODUCTION1, PRODUCTION2, Etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/212424-creative-computer-name/#findComment-584484293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
