What is my new computer's name?

Asked by Seek (34808points) April 4th, 2016

The last thing I did before the Week from Hell began was ask for advice on a new computer, and order the parts for that computer with the advice of @johnpowell. He awesomely offered to build it for me and suffered my 800 million questions during the whole process.

See the related question here

Well, the new computer is here! And working and AMAZING.

And now, he needs a name.

Help me name this bouncing baby borg.

Neal

or

Tyson

I prefer Tyson. 2 syllables rolls off the tongue better.

@Hawaii_Jake

True story: When we were naming our dog, it came down to either Russell or Tyson (for Bertrand Russell and Neil DeGrasse Tyson)

He just seemed more like a Russell.

Tyson would be a great name. I like it.

My laptop’s name was Magrathea.

What color is it? How about <color> Powell Ranger.

Seek's avatar

Loli – that’s on the short list, too. Great one.

Seek's avatar

It’s black and green. Naturally.

how about “DataLore”

Seek's avatar

One of the best episodes.

THIS IS SO HARD.

Lal also comes to mind, but I really feel this computer is a boy.

@Here2_4 Oh, what splendid video! I’d bet fiddy bucks that it was impromptu (It’s Robin Williams, duh) but, best of all, the giggles were real, not scripted! Even the kids. Thanks for the smile.

Or how about “Barrett”( after the actress that provided the voice for the Enterprise Computer)

Seek's avatar

YES.

Loli, that one is a winner.

Barrett, after the late Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, with the added benefit of being similar to the badass eco-terrorist from FFVII

Abby, short for Abacus.

Good to see you went with a build like this. Hell, add a midrange video card later and you’re ready to do serious gaming on that thing. I looked at the specs and John put together a great machine for you. A build like this is always better, you would not believe the cheap crap they put in sub $500 off the shelf PC’s now.

Well, he should be called ‘Oliver’ then, for Oliver Sacks.
