Model: G4
Name: Adam
Reason: all of my computers are named after the computer setup in Evangelion the Magi. Thus i named my ipod Adam for Adam was the first angel and was later implanted into Gendo Ikari's hand.... just where i keep my ipod.

My iPod had gone a way for a while, so now that the Phantom Pod has been returned to me reborn I have given it a new name: Phantom Pod Deux!
Still because of my obsession with the Phantom of the Opera
December 22nd everyone! In a movie theater near you!

In iTunes
1. Select the iPod in the Source list.
2. Click its name again. iPod's name is highlighted.
3. Type a new name.
4. Press Enter.

"smorzie"
story behind it...
smorzando in italian means "to die away slowly" so i changed it to smorzander wich means "the one who dies slowly" i use that for all my user names on the internet, if you see smorzander on some site... its me.
so i wanted to name my iopd mini somthing cool and cute so i called it smorzie

My mini that I broke was Mini Munch... :'( It died when I tried to install Linux on it..
I named it that because my iBooks name is iMunch, so yeah.. My iBook got named that because one of my other friends was drawing a comic where one laptop (iMunch) was chewing on an Alienware. He wrote "MUNCH!" just with the upside-down exclamation point first, which made me think of iMunch. :)
My friend named his mini Tristen, which is kind of creepy, because he calls it his little brother..

KitiPod, even tho I don't get it for...four more days. I get it on Xmas Eve from my g-parents so I'll charge it when I get home (I stay up all night on Xmas Eve always) and listen to it sometime the next day. I guess I should be ripping CDs and finding the music I want on it, huh? :)

12-23-2004, 10:58 PM
Our 1st is "podi" (pronounced pod-e), the 2nd is "podi deux" (pronounced pod-e-doo). (read: pas de deux).
Pas de deux means dance or step of 2 in ballet talk (french), 2 people dancing. So its a double wammy with deux meaning 2 as in the 2nd pod. Also we (my aunt and I) are dance teachers. :)

Well, I just got my iPod this morning and on the 20 minute drive to the store, I came up with "Sparky". I thought it fit well, being on the electronic/electric side of things and it also used to be a nickname of mine...unfortunatly.

Don't ask where that came from. I just started saying it one day and I use it everyday. I love that phrase. It is so catchy so i thought I would name my iPod after it.

Name: "Milo"
Explain: I have been wanting an iPod since 1G, but not had the money to acquire one until recently. Being a geek at heart I decided to name my iPod "Milo" after my favorite geek ever, Milo Auckerman. Milo Auckerman is the lead singer of the band Descendents, and also very much a geek. So it only seemed right that I name my combination of music and tech after my favorite music geek.
i take back my "baby cakes" iPod name and i will make it my name cuase its my iPod no one else and i want them to know it :: :eek:

My iPod is nameless as of now. It is kind of depressing to have a nameless iPod. I had a nameless cat and gave her a temporary name of Boo (monster's inc)... and now that is her name. I am afraid of giving my iPod a temporary name. Does anyone have an idea? I was thinking maybe Josh, Francis (said the French way), Jesus, Viggo, Gabrial, or Christian. What do you think?

My iPod's called Elmo. It's 'cos I named my hard drive Bert, so my iBook's Ernie, thus makin my iPod another Sesame Street Character name.
I've since thought of a better name. Dunno if I can be bothered to change it though (if that's possible...I don't know much about my iPod at the moment, I'm still learning:) ).

My Dad, who is super cool, got an iPod at the same time I did. He called his PeaPod for about a day, but it changed pretty quick. :) His three grandkids (they are all <5 years old) call him PooPoo ;) so they call his iPod "the PooPooPod". My little girl has a little plastic CD player which she then dubbed "the KatiePod"... so mine became "MommiPod". :)

Mine let me name him when I set it up with the software on the computer. Maybe, if you don't mind doing it, reformatting it will give you the option.

My 4G 40gig is named Stella, from a part of the song "High School Confidential" by Rough Trade.
After the line: "Teenaged Brandos stalk her in the halls..." a voice in the background yells "Stella!" (nod to A Streetcar Named Desire).
So I guess her name is, technically, "Stella!" Hey, *I* think it's funny... :D
And also, there are little bits of the stainless steel back that show through the vent holes in her purple iSkin... they twinkle like stars (stella = star).

TOFU TOO
(4th Gen 40GB)
Named it this as the successor of my first iPod which was called TOFU (2nd Gen 20GB). Reason? Because it was small and white. And it's also a cute, small name. Tofu Too comes about as a 'sequel' if you will. So it reads kinda like 'Tofu II', but is spelled Tofu Too, i.e., Tofu 'also'.

My first iPod (a 1st gen 5gig affair purchased they day after they were introduced) was named "Laslow Hollyfeld" after a character in the movie REAL GENIUS. It's been years, but if I remember correctly the window came up asking me what to name it and I thought "Katie's iPod" was fricking LAME. "Laslow Hollyfeld" was the first name that popped into my head. Thank god I was thinking of REAL GENIUS and not AUNTIE MAME... I'm not sure "Beauregard Jacskon Pickett-Burnside" would fit!!!!
Anyhoo, when I got my iPod photo earlier this week I got the window again and I gave it the first obscure movie character name that popped into my head: "Rollo Tomassi" after a character in L.A. CONFIDENTIAL. :cool:

Mine's name is Thanx2M&J in honor of my roomie and a friend from church, who got me hooked on iPods.
It would have been a green mini, to match my car and my computer's customized colors, but NO, BestBuy did not have the green mini. So the car is green, the computer icons are green, and the ipod is blue.
The car's name is Grumpy, a polite term for its actual name, which was christened one day when I was late for work and the car did not want to go in reverse gear ( I have a manual transmission) its original name was a string or cuss words that would make a sailor blush.
The computer I did not name, the guys at Totally Awesome Computers named it, and for some reason they wrote on the box "Casper" and then proceeded to enter the name on the computer. So Casper it is.
At least my mini matches my bass guitar, though...green basses are hard to find.
