So Charles is building me a new computer as my old one, known to some as Mr. Happy, Is getting old, senile, cranky, and possibly osteoporosis. We've been feeding creemed veggies instead of whole for a while, but his last set densures have just plain kicked the bucket. Also, his pacemaker is on the brink b0rkdom.
So anyway...... I need a new Computer name! This new computer is going to be a female. I would like the name to be creative, but not stupid. It has to be 16 characters or less, spaces don't count. They must be alphanumeric. Ie: only letters and numbers, no underscores, etc.
Only serious applicants, please.
If you don't comply, I shall change all of flare to the awful purple colorscheme I devised earlier, which you can ask the mods about. (they all hated it).
For the time being, it shall be named Darth Fluffy. This is temporary.
So... the compy's coming in Thursday. GOOD LUCK!

The first thing that popped into my mind was "Amidala".
Immediately followed by "Amidala, naked, handcuffed to a four-poster bed", but that exceeds 16 characters.
Clytemnestra.

Boadicea Cassandra Melpomene
Or if she's to be half yours, and half his, Persephone would be appropriate... half Demeter's and half Hades's.

If you're running Windows, how 'bout Tyronica, an African goddess of battle?
Or Morrigan, the (Celtic?) war goddess...
Or Eris, the Greek goddess of strife...
But my personal favorite, Rhiannon, the Welsh witch-nymph-goddess.

Why not the female names we've seen in Star Trek like Kamala or Fenna? Unless you want to name your computer Chesty LaRue, Hootie McBoobie, or Busty St. Claire after that Simpsons episode where Homer changes his name to Max Power. Hey Jubes, can you describe the computer so we can somewhat match the name to the looks?

The computer tower looks like this:
I like the names you guys have provided so far... keep it coming!

How about naming your computer Siegfried? That way, when you get The Blue Screen of Death, you can shout, "Charles! Siegfried just went down on me!"
All kidding aside (before Charles and Jubes pound my face), how about Kelloggia: Queen of Tarts. Or, how about Orgasmia: Computer of Porn! Or how about Computer Smurf?
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
Somehow I doubt CC and Jubie have much use for porn.
SMURFETTE!

First attempt: Mitena Haro.

And yet when I ask for a name for my web-site, I get cold glares, and letter bombs. *sniff*
Pussywillow?
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Liam, boy, I suggested a name for your website. You totally, like, didn't listen and some junk. I'm, like, totally upset with you for that. And you, like, come in here trying to get pity? Like, as if! Posted by Daniel (Member # 453) on :
How 'bout Holly? That's the name of my girlfriend's computer. After Holly the Senile Computer on the show Red Dwarf.
Posted by Jeff Raven (Member # 20) on :
I'm sure Charles would understand this reference:
Erwin.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Ooh, "Holly"'s a good one. Even if you decided in the future to assign the computer a different gender, you wouldn't need to change the name. :-)

Seigy: I did listen. It's just that your idas were pants. I think. I can't remember them.
The problem with changing the computers gender, is that a male computer is so much funnier than a female one.
Posted by Michael_T (Member # 144) on :
Why not Blu Cantrell? She's a wonderful singer over here in the States. You may want to listen to her single "Hit 'em Up Stye" from her new album. Although you may want to make sure Charles isn't in the room if you listen to it.
Posted by Jubilicious (Member # 99) on :
Charles isn't the only one who reads User Friendly, you know.........
Hmmm. I like everyone's suggestions! 'Cept for "siegfried". That's just messed up.
A few more hours till the parts arrive.....
(Charles is still stuck on Darth Fluffy for some odd reason.... )
Posted by MeGotBeer (Member # 411) on :
Well, watching Snatch as I am ...
Who not name each element different?
How about ... Tommy the Tower?
Maybe Patrick the Printer. Mikey the Monitor. Keith the Keyboard. Morris the Mouse. Sammy the Scanner.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Liam, my ideas for not "pants!" In fact, I recall being the only person who gave a suggestion for a name. You punk.
Jubes, I stand by my "Siegfried" suggestion. It's funny. It's clever. It's about oral sex. What is there not to like!?
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
From my point of view, the oral sex part.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Oh, pish posh, Liam. Posted by MeGotBeer (Member # 411) on :
My ideas obviously rock.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Jeff: She's talking about the actual name assigned to the computer for networking purposes. Not just what she's going to refer to it as in conversation...
Posted by MeGotBeer (Member # 411) on :
How about "Ugly Box of Mostly Electronics"?
Posted by Michael_T (Member # 144) on :
Why not just name it LCARS Terminal 469
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Because that's sad.
Megatron all the way!
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
Wait, I have a question. What has the computer's attitude been like? That'd help me in making another better candidate.
Posted by Jeff Raven (Member # 20) on :
This is the most I've laughed from a thread in a long time... Its no longer about naming the computer, its sheer entertainment!
Posted by Charles Capps (Member # 9) on :
Well, I hate to ruin it, but...
We had quite entertaining company over the past week. She noted a unique feature of the new case for the new system... it had squiggles.
We all decided we liked Squiggles better than any other previously thought of name.
The system is now named Squiggles.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Well, I'm disappointed. Squiggles? I was so hoping that y'all would choose something cool like Prehensile Rectum, Mutant Toadstool, or Drunken Boll-Weevils. Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
"Quite entertaining company."
Read: "We all had large amounts of gratuitous monkey sex with each other."
Go Charles und Jubes.
Posted by Michael_T (Member # 144) on :
All I have to say is that it better look like a squid.
Posted by Jubilicious (Member # 99) on :
*LOL*
Sorry, guys.....
I actually did like many of the names you had listed, but Squiggles was just.... perfect.
And..... no hot monkey sex for me.
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
What, you're sick and you just invited a friend over to keep Charles busy while you recuperate?
