Alrighty!

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.

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?

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?

Somehow I doubt CC and Jubie have much use for porn.

And yet when I ask for a name for my web-site, I get cold glares, and letter bombs. *sniff*

Pussywillow?

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

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!

How 'bout Holly? That's the name of my girlfriend's computer. After Holly the Senile Computer on the show Red Dwarf.
