For my own devices, I just name them anything related to space exploration. I make it memorable and appropriate. Launchpad was where I did all my creative work. Pocket Rocket was a Mac Mini. My iPod was Cassini (comparatively small / weak spacecraft); when I lost it, I posthumously renamed it Atlantis (after the Shuttle).
Originally I named devices after computer science visionaries — the computer I built, I named Kilby, after Jack Kilby.
