So why don't you answer? 
Bum, that was my first idea, but the second one is what the kit is for, which has a frigging hyphen [3-4] as well

Hmm, you have been a bit naughty though. The wordplay involves the deletion of two letters, (n'est-ce pas?), but the form you've used is usually only good for a single letter. As Pompey's very close I won't steal the thunder for now!

I don't think so, anyway three hours is past and I can't hang around so the answer is there at the top of the forum...

Ah no. I was thinking SUB A QUA[rt]. Mea culpa!

Because subaqua isn't a word #youonlyhadonejob

At my current job, there exists a policy to name computers and servers after stars. Except for the demo laptop, which was named Jabbah (It's ugly, slow and often doesn't work). What's the most creative naming scheme you came along in your career?

I started naming my computers after the characters of the children's comic strip Rasmus Klump[^] which was my favorite comic when I was a small boy: Petzi (a bear cub), Pelle (a pelican) and Pingo (a penguin) 
Then I ran out of names I could remember from it and named my current main machine Bibi, after Bibi Blocksberg[^], an audio play series which I liked to hear at about the same age

Both in the University and here in my company, the computers are named as female names.
Always was a success: hugely appreciated!

Professionally:
I once visited a server room where they were all named after chocolate bars. I think Snickers was the DC, Kit Kat was the exchange server and Mars was the ISA.
The first company I worked for was a tiny place but the MD had big dreams so the naming convention would start with a country code, an office code and then the individual workstation id. There was only ever the one office so it would always be UK-KIN-xxxx
I probably came across more nicknames for servers such as Hamsters the ISA server needing to be fed so it'd go faster in its imaginary wheel.
Geekier because it's home use warning:
I personally like naming home use (read, gaming) laptops after legendary swords as it's an excuse for a nice desktop background of sword porn. Over the years I've had Excalibur, Hrunting, currently on Durandal, the next might be Masamune or Muramasa.
I made a jury-rigged media server setup using lots of old tech I had lying around including a netbook, an external USB HDD and a really random cooling system. Originally called the Mediazord, as I upgrade the individual bits, I've had to wiki to see what the next one was called in series.

If entirely fictive names are ok, then you should also use Stormbringer.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Of course! There's such a plethora of swords out there, I'll run out of laptops before running out of names

Stormbringer just is not one of the nice ones. No wonder if it's really the physical shape of the demon with the name 'Shaitan'.

A long time ago (1997), my then-company had a contest to name a new server. The name had to be something significant from central India. The name "Vindhya" (name of a mountain range)* suggested by me bagged the prize.
* Today, also the name of an actress.

How does it help to name them after stars? I'd never remember if the server I wanted was NGC-1701 (HYPERLEDA-I), the USS Enterprise, or NGC-1662 (an open star cluster in Orion)...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

My Laptop for example is named Electra (Not Carmen[^]).
Another Computer is named Gemini. We're a small company, so remembering the names is easy.

In all seriousness, I'm really boring.

ANAS (Acer NAS, up for sale soon)
SGNAS (Seagate NAS)
BX305 (Printer, no guesses which model)
and so on...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You missed a great chance not naming it AnaNAS.

At my first job, I named the servers after planets
But the boss made me change them as he use to put the path to the files on reports he gave to clients and he complained when 2 server names were uranus and pluto.

A few of the managers were Terry Prachett fans and found it very amusing. For the rest of us, it was meaningless 
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.
