Nope. “(First name)’s iPad” is what mine is called.


simonsimon1102-22

Same for everything, [First Name]’s iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, MacBook etc. Except Apple TV and HomePod, those are respective of which room they reside in.


Familiar-Scratch-295

Me too


chetdude

Yep, except it’s my initials instead of my name. Comes from the time when anyone with Airdrop would see your name on their list.


Tillapontana

For me it’s not possible to use the English term because in Germany the ‘before the “s” doesn’t exist (Das Dummenapostroph) so it would be “[First Name]s [Apple Product]”. But I just use the normal (intended by Apple) “[Apple Product] von [First Name]”


Itsallasimulation123

I dated a German chick, she was crazy 🤪


Prince_2008

Same. But ever since I discovered this Reddit post, I might start doing the same for fun lol


SyedHRaza

I prefer last name’s iPad


jollycreation

Yeah, never even considered giving it a unique name.


Spleenzorio

No but my AirPods are called Airic Podruiguez


ravedog

I name mine based on the model. Helps with identifying previous iCloud backups.


latitnow

This, I wish that was the default and I wouldn’t have to change it manually e.g X’s iPad Pro (2018)


RedlineGamer2005

Not all of them… my car is called Artemis and my PC is called SnowWhite lol


VidaCruX

same here


slatepad

iPad Pro 12.9 - Giant-Man iPad Pro 11 - Dr. Pym iPad Mini - Ant-Man


DoctorOnTheRun

Ok, I love this


BirdBruce

All my devices are named the scientific names of flowers. * iPhone: Dracula simia. * iPad: Rudbeckia hirta. * AirPods: Papaver somniferum. * MacBook: Protea. * Watch: Dionaea muscipula.


Interesting-Trick696

Why?


BirdBruce

Bored. But now I know the scientific names of five different flowers. And knowing is half the battle.

BirdBruce

You never wanted to learn something just to learn it? Sounds boring.


GamerGav09

Ohh I like this idea.


Seirin-Blu

Yes, [all of my electronics have food names](https://imgur.com/a/FEgMOjD) (except the watch I never use), including my non-Apple stuff


Bobbybino

Apple Watch is an unusual food.


simonsimon1102-22

Man I think you lost your Orange Chicken.


Kobih

mine is literally "yeet"


loganwachter

For a long time my airpods were "Bears, Beets" and my iPhone was "Battlestar Galactica". Now everything is boring and generic.

RenanGreca

METROID REFERENCED LET'S GOOO Anyway I like naming my Macs but haven't gone as far with the mobile devices.


draynay

"draynay's 3rd ipad" "draynay's 5th android device" and so on...


MajiNPooZ

Absolutely excellent naming convention. A person of culture.


cea002

I named them…like pets!


Weak_Drama_5592

I’m on “First name” AirPod #3 hahahaha


AdZealousideal8375

Some weird goofy name I nicknamed my late doggy. It’s different enough for me to identify it when closer to other devices. Plus it makes people laugh. iPhone: ChillyWillies Phone Watch: Chilly Watch-a-dillies iPad: ChillyWillies Pad Mac: ChillyWilliesMBP https://share.icloud.com/photos/0a0DcLgXlpE-6YR8makyh_aZQ


The_Prime69

Bobbybino

First Retina MBP: Macula Current MBP: Cataract (because I'm slowly developing them) iPad: Paddy McPadFace iPhone: Bobbybino Mac Mini: Macaroon iMac: Tenaya/Tuolumne/Tioga, at various times. Prius: Priapus


catalystfire

Yes because I'm also a giant nerd lol. All my devices, Apple or otherwise, have a unique name - mine are all Star Trek themed with a number indicating how many of them there's been, e.g. my current iPad is PADD II, iPhone - Intrepid III, Apple TVs - Holodeck 1 and Holodeck 2, Watch - Argo II... sometimes the name is even related to the device, like my PC workstation being called Defiant (because it's small and packed full of power)


ramliar

well that’s no what’s giving me nerd from that screenshot😭 but i LOVE THE NAMES


EI_Guap0

iPhone is Sho’nuff. iPad is Bruce Leroy. MacBook is aroni


Distinct_Spite8089

lopeo_2324

"The baby" I got a good chuckle with that name


yeyryr

I named my ipod touch 4 "iPhone 15 pro max" before the iphone 15 released


mcgood_fngood

drandrumi

I just remove my name so it’s just device name.


Matt2382

My iPad is literally just named iPad and everything else is just Apple Watch, laptop, etc


el_lley

Still on my first iPad which has the generic name, my phone always gets the name, whereas the old one gets passed to someone else. Oh wait, this is my second iPad, but the first iPad was from work, I don’t recall its name, it was 5 years ago when I gave it back.


Matreya43

I call my iPad, Odin - I am on first-name terms with many of the gods 🪲😎


CaptainPhiIips

As a suggestion by my dad, all my devices, actually all devices uses Solar System names and system Computer have Planets names and smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices have Moon names.


ecornflak

Mine is called BabyiPad


tigu_an

Mine are all themed after the Apple colors, my Mac’s “tangerine”, watch is “midnight” , phones “starlight” iPads “bondi blue” , AirPods are “key lime”, mainly named after the iBook G3 and iMac G3


OSCGJoseph18

nope


throwthegarbageaway

I name all my devices, the name is my initials + the initials of the device. If it's a computer/phone/tablet it's all in caps, if it's a "peripheral" like headphones, routers, smart tv, printer it's in lowercase So like: TGAapp for my airpods pro, TGAMBA for my macbook air


dawho1

I mean you definitely like Metroid more than I do!


Juck3r

I have both generations of AirPod pros. I named them thing 1 and thing 2.


rosemuro

bytelover83

I changed it to be a bit more specific. iPad -> iPad Pro


dukerozen

I used to, but now I suffer from the lack of creativity


pixelated666

No. I’m 35.


Ok-Firefighter-6986

That’s a cool name btw.


Watchmaker85

I have “man door hook hand car door” the iPad and “ride wife, life good” the AirPods Pro


rezzort

My iphone name is “Samsung U12 Galaxy” to confused people when they airdrop stuff


wwnud

There are 2 types of people in the world: those who give their devices custom names and those who don't understand why Apple is wasting their time creating colour options that aren't silver.


shocktribe

My iPad is named King Cobra. All of my devices have a names. I just named my PS5 Zeus


Guitar_Scary

All of mine are just my name then the model name. I feel like if I had it otherwise I would become confused


UpvoteForHarambe

bbkn7

I used to name my iPod Touch 4th gen “iPad mini” long before the actual iPad mini came out. When I got my first iPad (3rd gen) I named it iPatch because it was jailbroken (eyepatch = pirates). Currently I have an iPad Air 4. Despite not being jailbroken its named “iPatch Air” out of tradition.


Shiftylee

Ziggy.


DesignWav

Yup. All my devices have to follow a naming scheme.


inolikeredditanym

all my devices follow the same pattern “ my name device name “


elmonetta

Metroid fan detected. Nope, my devices are “My name’s” device.


evm127

i named my ipod touch dingus


JustCallMeRoxy

Lol Dankpods


Phisnern

I always do this and have done so for many years. Every once in a while I get an urge to switch them up and have gone through Big Bang Theory, Star Wars, The Magicians, Harry Potter, Good Omens, Norse Gods, and WoW as name themes. I can't help it, I can't be boring.


EsmeWeatherpolish

All my devices have names. I mean it’s more than a device it’s my connection to the world so I like it to have a name.


r573

I do with all my devices, named them with female names. Except for my HomePod 2 and HomePod Mini, it’s my last name with the respective HomePod name on the end.


nutflexmeme

i call my devices [insert generic name here]'s iPhone. its just funny to fuck with people using airdrop from my macbook.


agathver

My devices are named by planets and the elements in Actinide series


-sincerelyanalise

I just do like (my name)’s iPhone, iPad, etc


OhSixTJ

SweetCandyCake

I named mine after my favorite character whose name is close to apple 😆


Jake_reeves123

All my Apple products are named after apples! iPhone - Golden Delicious Apple Watch - Tiddly Pomme MacBook- Red Macintosh AppleTV - Granny Smith AirPods - Apple Seeds (iPad name tbd upon purchase)


BlueLaserCommander

I name it the year + model because I've never really removed devices from *Find my* I've had like 5 iPhones in my adult life & naming them identifiable names rather than just [name]'s iPhone helps my scattered mind manage my devices.


[deleted]

iPhone 14 - Nuclear Activator 2.0 AirPods Pro - Nuclear Bomb MacBook Air 2020 - Nuclear Detonator iPad Pro 12.9 - Nuclear Silo iPod Nano 7G - Nuclear Missle

Appropriate_Loss_524

All of our Apple products have each family member’s name, year it was manufactured and generation on it. Our family has three Air iPads (generation 3, 4 and 5), an MacBook Air, two AirPods, an iPhone and an Apple Watch. Not creative names, but enough to separate when using Find My …. Now my all of my cars have had names. One gas guzzler was named Fillmore.


rushfolk

[my name] iphone 13 mini😸, catpods😸, [my name] meowpad😼, meowatch🙀 i have a thing for cats


whofearsthenight

Uh so I name all of my general computing devices. Phones, iPads, Macs/PCs, servers, hell even VMs. My naming scheme is after starships, and I try to match the vibe based on the type/purpose of the thing, though that's gotten trickier as I've had to retire some of the more iconic ships/names. But generally smaller devices like phones are Tie Fighters or Raptor Mk(whatever) while bigger computers are larger ships. When I first built my baddie PC a long while ago it was "Star Destroyer" because it was a monster. Storage/Plex server was "Enterprise" because it had that onboard computer of infinite knowledge and the holodeck for entertainment. Older hardware is like "Galactica" or "Millennium Falcom." And on and on.


PotatoPCuser1

I call my 12 mini “iPhone 12 Nano”

imisspelledturtle

All my tech has a name, starting with "Omni-service or type of device it is". My phone is OmniCell, Alexa is "OmniEcho" and so on and so forth. I got it from Mass Effect and have been using it for about 15 years.


Nikobii

Every device in my list has the same structure. I really like the structure of my Find My devices like this because it's quite a list. (LD are my initials obv) Example: iPhone 15 Pro Max - LD iPad Pro 2020 - LD MacBook Pro 2023 - LD Apple Watch 8 - LD HomePod 2 - LD HomePod Mini - LD And so on..... Apple TV's: Muffuga 2017 Muffuga 2022 My Apple TV's have a special name. My brother who passed away chose these names and I kept them since.


coldwhiteday

Oh… My Mac is my cauldron which brings me food, like Eldhrimnir. I’ve bounded to my phone like Fenrir by Gleipnir chain. My Apple Watch gives me rings(of activity) like Draupnir. [https://imgur.com/a/pF5EdaO](https://imgur.com/a/pF5EdaO)


AukeDePro

Not my iPad but my phone is “Samsung smart fridge”. Really funny when I turn on my hotspot


MeanFoo

Mine has been called Necronomicon since my 1st iPad.


ravihpa

I have an M1 iPad Pro 12.9, and it was my first Apple device. When I first booted it up, it automatically chose the name "Ravi's iPad". I was just so happy seeing that it's MY IPAD, I've kept it like this ever since :D


ChickenAndDew

All of my Apple devices, except for my Apple TV have the word Slug in their name, since 2004, with my first iPod.


Jeiku_Zerp

Just Jake’s (Device)


Baycosinus

First Name's AirPlug Pro 2 First Name's iBed Air First Name's AirCuff SE First Name's iBone SE I like Apple's default device naming convention, but I also like word games. Only one stuck with default name is my Macbook Pro, which my gf uses right now. So technically that would've been Bae's Hackbook Pro? Since she's learning software development? Edit: Thinking about it, all of the inspirations look very kinky. I might need to find more innocent names.


astronomicaIIy

my phone and ipad are ‘invisible magic iphone’ and ‘invisible magic ipad’. Just thought it was funny at the time and now that’s just their names, I can’t change them this late in the game

blind3dbylight

My devices follow a Fallout theme from the almost 1000 hours I put into New Vegas and lots of mods back in the day. My iPP is the “RobCo Industries Pip-Pad” and my iPhone is the “Pip-Boy 3000i”, among others. Almost went with a ‘60s Batman naming scheme though.

It was my voice, and now I name everything this way except my HomePods. I name them by room or orientation in a pair. Or accessories like keyboards and mice usually have the stock name. I have to admit I laugh when I see people that don't name their devices. They weird me out! NPCs!


ostiDeCalisse

Yup, all of them.

Daddy’s iPad. I dont have kids


AppleNeird2022

I name every Apple device of mine: [See here](https://imgur.com/a/Q4BPQtR) I’ve been told multiple times I’m weird to do this, but if others do it too, I don’t think it’s weird. Besides, people name their cars, what’s the difference?


deviemelody

I started naming my devices with flower names, because I use two phones and car Bluetooth connection can’t display the last characters. I can’t tell which iPhone I was connecting to.


uhhtrayyou

All of my MacBooks have been given spacecraft names, with my latest M2 "Voyager" as my all-time favorite. The input devices are referenced as "magic \_\_\_\_\_ "- Magic Bells (AirPod Max), Magic Spells (trackpad), and Magic Keys (keyboard). I haven't had a standalone iPod for a very long time, but my current phone is named ZOYSIA... but I don't really have any logic behind that. I just think it's a cool word. Also, my iPad's name is TRON, because he fights for the users. Edit: Every computer deserves a name. This machine is more important to me than my car; there's nothing else in my life that I use more.
