Not just for devices but also my hard drives, I use the names of stars. For example Rigel or Betelgeuse
My devices are all named after things from the Star Wars universe, in particular:
For personal machines, I use rivers.
At work we use superheroes.
For hobby projects, cute 4 letter words (it's a challenge), for example bubu and alia.
All of my personal machines are Autobots.
At work we use space probes (Voyager, Pioneer, New Horizons, etc). We're a small satellite communications company.
We did reindeer; Dasher, Dancer, Vixen, etc.
My NAS that holds all my data is Farnsworth. My file server is Hermes. My Linux VM that does all the scut-work is Kif. My beefy gaming PC is Bender. My beefy gaming laptop is Flexo. And so on.
Various computers/robots from media.
My desktop is Eddie (The name of the shop's computer from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and my home server is HEX (the weird magic computer in the High Energy Magic building at Unseen University in the Discworld novels)
