Well, I see my Muppet theme has been 'stolen'... I have a pair of older all-in-one Macs named Waldorf and Statler (with icons and sounds to match their names), and my PowerBook is named Zoot. I have an ancient Color Classic II named Scooter, and an old IIcx(?) in my basement storage area named Piggy.
At my last job, we named all the servers after Shakespeare characters, so then my G3 PowerBook was Othello, and my beige PC was Iago.
My brother uses Asterix characters, I think, and I used to use Tintin, before I discovered a bunch of Muppet icons and sounds and switched to that. (There aren't too many folks here across the pond that know about Asterix or Tintin.)
I think the best idea I've seen here is Douglas Adams characters. I wish I'd thought of that!
