No, I don't name my devices, but if I connect them to a home network. I name them, so they are easier to find. I use my 1st name to name my computers.

Negative, unless there's multiple electronics connected to my computer that belong to other people, or theres more than one user on my PC.

I think Windows and someother OS make your first username you make on the computer the name for the computer. If I live in a place with a high crime rate, I just put a sticker on the outside or inside of my electronics, so if someone say the thing is theirs I just show them my sticker on the device.

I don't name them.. I just truncate the names..
For instance..
I called my Zen Vision M, ZVM..
I call my HTC Hermes, Hermes..
I call my Samsung T629, T629..
and I call my Zen X-Fi, X-fi..
no sense in doing anything other than that..
I name everything pretty much so yeah I do name my electronics.
i-Phone 3G is Chester (the molester)
Really crappy keyboard phone is Avalon or a bunch of curse words.
Laptop is Kenneth.
i-Pod is Chinmoku.
When I name things I'm more careful with them so they have a less likely chance to break... I break things often...
