All my electronic devices have gender-appropriate names starting with the letter "S" and taken from relevant religious fables.
Why I started such a tradition? I don't know. My Palm III was named Sita, and even my HP48 was named Sisyphus.

Did I miss something here?
The BLUETOOTH name is what you advertise when you connect via BT.
The DEVICE name is what shows on a network when you connect which by default contains the OS version. How do you change the DEVICE name?

I named my n800 Sleipnir (my Zodiac 2 is Hugin and the backup Z is Munin, so I thought I'd continue the theme).
In retrospect, "Slider" is perhaps not the best name for a fragile mobile device...

I named mine Shrike.
Originally, my naming scheme was scifi ships, eventually I played Eve Online and took up the Caldari naming scheme, and have named all of my computing devices random birds.
also:
Shrikes are medium-sized birds, up to 50 centimetres (approximately 19.7 inches) in length, with grey, brown, or black and white plumage. Their beaks are hooked, like that of a bird of prey, reflecting their predatory nature, and their calls are strident. Shrikes are known for their habit of catching insects, small birds, or mammals and impaling their bodies on thorns. This helps them to tear the flesh into smaller, more conveniently-sized fragments, and serves as a "larder" so that the shrike can return to the uneaten portions at a later time.

You can edit /etc/hostname as root in a terminal window to change the Device name.
Just what do I use to "edit" this file to change the hostname?
