I like explaining my thought process when naming my things, because there's honestly not that much thought expect for 'Is this in my Codenames? Yes? Cool.' If not but I think it fits? I'll just add it in.
Though I try to have most of them fit a Cyberpunky theme.
Regardless, I'll use this to list my currently active Devices.
Pixel - Pixel 8
Blade - Razer Blade 14 (2021)
Pearl - Kindle 11th Gen
Implant - Hetzner Server (this is where you are)
Source - Dell Tower under my Desk
Simulation - TV
Oasis - Nintendo Switch
Dionysus - Raspberry Pi 4
My Husband's Tower is simply called Omen, because that is yet again just a nice and simple name.
Generally, If the Device already has a Name that is nice and simple, that fits, I'll just use that. Otherwise I'll choose one of the list.
When I was trying the Flip 4for a while, I just called it Flip.
When choosing, I try to name it after how it works or what it's supposed to do.
Pearl was chosen because it's an E-Ink Device, Source was a 3rd attempt at spinning up a Nextcloud Instance, though now it just runs things I want to use every once in a while. Oasis was like a tongue-in-cheek "Gaming Oasis" Joke. Dionysus is the only one out of Place, kinda. Though I've had enough Issues with that Thing and it's sass that I feel like the name kinda fits.
