Actually, a computer having a name is not ususal.  That has been the standard operating procedures at least a few decades.  That is where the idea for DNS (Domain naming system) originated.   If that quirky habit did not exist, then we would have to enter http://64.202.167.216 to visit PosetteForever.  There is a RFC that provides guidelines on how to select names for a computer.  Such as naming machines based on a theme.  and not naming them with the named of the people who use them, etc.
