    Do you want good and evil hard drives, or just two names?

    Irish and Trojan is the obvious suggestion, but some others:
    Kirk & Picard
    Bender & Flexo (if you’re a Futurama fan)
    Merry & Pippin
    House & Senate
    Gonzaga & Buffalo
    Colorado & Connecticut

    My criteria:
    -both names must point to the other
    -must be esoteric enough to stump most folks
    -must represent opposing dangers

    My votes:
    Smeagol & Shelob
    Scylla & Charybdis
    Stilson & Bonzo

    I’m finding more ideas, but all of them fall short of the first one:

    Smeagol and Shelob… escape one, watch out for the other. The longer it’s been since you’ve seen them, the more heavily danger fills the room.

    I should expand my 2nd criteria.

    It should be esoteric enough to stump most folks, but an obvious relationship to geeks.

  8. trooperbari

    Crash & Burn
    Sturm & Drang
    TCU & Boise
    Hit & Hope
    Father & Son (just leave enough room between them for the Holy Spirit)
    Jamie & Adam
    Butch & Sundance
    Lone Wolf & Cub
    Godzilla & Mothra (Ghidora, Rodan, Mechagodzilla, Gamera, whatever’s your fancy)
    The Lone Rangers

  9. Brendan Loy

    Mozart and Salieri?
    Ndamukong and Suh?
    Adam and Steve? (as in “Adam and Eve, not…”)

    Lots of good ideas, here and on Facebook, but I think I agree with Benjamin Skidmore on FB that Romulus and Remus are still the best pair.

    Nevertheless, thanks for the suggestions, everyone! This will be a very helpful list to review the next time I need to name a hard drive. 🙂

    I’m going to name mine Shelob and Smeagol. You hope you never see them, but they provide a path when you’re losing hope.
