In fact, I name them after Greek Goddesses. My main hard drive is named Astraea, goddess of justice. My flash drive is named Iris, the messenger goddess. My external hard drive is split into two partitions: the Time Machine partition is named Soteria, the goddess of safety and preservation from harm and the storage partition is named Eos, the goddess of dawn. The computer itself is named Rhea, the mother of all gods.
It’s not that I’m a fan of Greek mythology or even that I’m more than superficially interested in them. They just have cool names, and it’s certainly less boring that “Macintosh HD; Storage; Flash Drive; Time Machine.” Plus, it’ll confuse everyone, which is always a plus.

Hi. First of all, sorry for being a creeper. Second of all, I name all my electronic devices Fitzpatrick or Fitzgerald.
The former was also the name of my female dissection cat.
