New Compie

I got a new computer. It is indeed the 13" macbook. I like it very much thus far.

It needs a name. Previously, I have named my computers after admired physicists (Einstein and Guth), when I was primarily training in Physics, then after characters in my games (Frost Maiden and Anchor) when I was primarily a game designer. Now I'm in China Studies / Political Science / International Relations. Should I name my computer after:
1) Famous Political Scientists? (who?)
2) Chinese reign names / imperial names?
3) An admired Chinese political figure of more recently times?
4) Still a game I'm working on (Drifter, The Man, Visitor, Druug, Vin Diesel, etc.) because I'm still sorta designing games?
5) Something else?

Thoughts would be appreciated.

A name that goes well with how you address your laptop.
(For example, since I often say "think, lappy, think!" or "lappy, don't fail me now!", it'd be rather funny to have it be "think, 蒋介石, think! Don't fail me now!")

... That's really funny.

Then again, not sure if I want to name my computer after a fascist dictator.

No matter how funny it would be.

Well, it can be any manner of people you'd like to exhort to think. Confucius, Jackie Chan, 嬴政, etc.
