Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | Instead of entering a "user name" for a given account on a device, I name the device itself when I can. I use the names of my favorite characters. Thus a phone is named Marina, and a laptop Nareed. The Nexus tablet uses my Google account user name, and so does the Win10 laptop with the MS account. If I can change the latter, I'll name it Vash. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

miplet Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 8 Posts: 975 | My phone is named "Adam's iPhone". Even Siri knows to call me Bobby, so I better change that. "Bobby's iPhone" is much better. :+) "...remind me of clue: Colonel Mustard in the billiard room with the candlestick."- Derek Morgan |

I think this is the joke, but I don't get it. Oh, my Chromecast is named Athena. I don't usually pick up others, and the Netflix in the Nexus knows it, but why not? Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

DJTeddyBear Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 5 Posts: 265 | I name them, because I believed that there might be issues with iTunes if I attach two different devices with the same name. But, thinking about it, iTunes probably uses the mac address or serial number... My phone is named, "Dave's iPhone 5S" I also edited the default signature like so my email says, "Sent from Dave's iPhone." I am constantly shocked when I see email that has the default generic signature line. Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power. But having only some facts can get you into trouble! |

My name is Adam Robert Cohen, but I go by Bobby. I have some funny stories about my name. I should tell them some day. "...remind me of clue: Colonel Mustard in the billiard room with the candlestick."- Derek Morgan |

I see. It seems I'm the one oddball who names devices without using my name. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |
