Name for my computer?

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

Kind of a silly/fun question for you guys:

I just got a new laptop yesterday, and I like to give names to my computers, but I'm having trouble coming up with the right one for this one.

I'm looking for nice, simple, ordinary names, preferably one syllable. I call my family's computer Bob, and my old laptop was Fred, but I've decided this one is a girl. I want to like the name, but not enough that it would be one that I would want to use on a child or character, if that makes sense.

Names that I'm considering:

Jane
Lucy
Joy

Do you like any of these, or can you think of a better one for me?

Mindy
Sue
Laurel
Iris

Those are what popped into my head when I was thinking about naming my computer.

Sue is a name I'm thinking about as well. Hmm...

[taleofaredhead.livejournal.com]

I vote Sue :]

Kate seems like an obvious choice (inspired by your icons)

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

It definitely would be the obvious choice if it wasn't firmly set aside for my (potential future) daughter. Thanks, though!

Joy is what I've been leaning towards today ... I'm trying to use a name that can't backfire on me hehe, and it seems like there would be no negative connotations to Joy, so long as she lives up to her name.

My last computer was Clementine, I haven't named this one yet.

It seems like you like short, to the point names in general.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. =]

Oh no! I think this list just made it harder, I like a lot of these! My favourites are:

Nell
Fay
Jade
Maeve
Cora
Vera

These aren't all the kinds of names that I love in general (most of my favourite names are actually really long!), but I like them, and they're exactly what I want for this.

[corielcries.livejournal.com]

Lol I meant it looked like you like short names for the computers you've named. =] Whoops!

Kate
Elle
Emma
Frannie
Wanda
May

Thanks! May is definitely a possibility. Hmmm...

Is it weird that I TOTALLY do that too? I name everything.

Laptop - Nona (Green with rainbow polka dots)
iPod - Jasmine (Pink Nano iPod)
Car - Shelly (Gold Saturn)

I can go on...

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I never thought of naming my iPod! What a great idea!

[amandidda.livejournal.com]

:D It's fun to name inanimate objects...currently trying to think of one for my glasses. I think I've decided they're a boy.....

My Magellan GPS is named Sampson...

LOL. I've done this too. When I got my new-ish car I decided it was male so I named him Tana (TAH-na). My car before Tana was a male named Sunny Bird. I guess my cars are male... My old computer was named Compy (original, I know)... and then he died. =[

That's what happened to my Fred this weekend. Terribly, terribly ironic.

My desktop computer is Bertha. My now-dead laptop was Gertrude - my current laptop is Hazel.

I go for the less than wonderful names for my computers, lol.
