Mine is named Pauline after the AI (Artificial Intellengece program) used/owned/... by one of the characters, John Boone, in Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars.
My various computers have always been named after AI's (sentient computers, androids, robots, software interfaces, or other) that I've encountered in reading. Portable devices (e.g. my various notebook computers, palmtop devices, and now a dedicated ebook reader) are all named after mobile entities. My first, back in 1980-81 was a TRS-80 Color Computer named "Mike", short for Mycroft (as in Sherlock's smarter brother), the name a self-aware computer in Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress chose for itself.
