All the best computers have names, and scientists are often quite creative in how they name them. I've seen servers and disk drives named after book characters, famous people, locations, brain areas, and much more. How do you (or your lab, or institute) name your computational resources?

This survey is just for fun, but I figure there's a chance we might see some interesting patterns in the data too. I've been meaning to do if for a while, but never got around to it until now.

Once I have received 50 responses (or after November 15, 2018, whichever is later), I'll write a blog post summarizing the responses and make all the data publicly available.
