So, I'm getting a brand new laptop from work and it's supposed to arrive on Monday.
*bounces*
I normally come up with unique names for my laptops... for instance.
I've had:
Prydain
Caledon
Powys
Hogwarts
Now I'm looking for a unique name for it, and I'd like to throw this out here for everyone to offer their suggestions. I may use them, I may not... don't feel bad if I don't.
I was going to call it Hogsmead or Powys again... but I would like something more original... any ideas?

Tim (as in Enchanter)
Lonny (cause then it sounds like you have this awesome friend called Lonny)
Lyla is also a good choice since to me, I think sexy gf
Then of course you could always use "Lord Appalon, Master of Everything" but thats been used to death already so I wouldn't suggest it.

LOL! Thanks everyone for your suggestions and advice. It really got the creative juices flowing. In the end, I have decided on calling the laptop... BRANDER This is the name of the novel I'm writing and after a lot of thinking, I believe this name to best fit my new laptop. Thanks again for all the suggestions.  |
