I recall in about grade 1 or so, my school bought a few TRS-80 model 3's. Each one had a name "FRED" "BERT" (I can't remember the real names) Interestingly, many years later when graduating from university, a load of old computer gear from the school district was dumped off by truck - and among the antiquated stuff were what looked like old TRS80-IIIs. I picked them up, dusted them off, and found the sticker on the side with the name on them - they were the actual computers from back when I was 6, from my old school. The university was nice enough to let me take one home - where it still sits, silent, waiting for the day when I clean it up and actually do something with it (it still works - missing a key or two from years of abuse)
