Summary: 

How about the computers in Alexis Gilliland's Rosinante novels?  It's
interesting that these machines became 'persons' through legally
incorporating themselves.  As for their names, Corporate Skaskash
ranks among the more unusual names given to machines.

The other computers mentioned modelled their behaviour and appearance
on communications screens on humans: Coroporates Susan Brown, William
Hulvey and Forziati.
