What were the names of the first three computers?

The answer to this depends on what you mean by computer; but the earliest programmable computers were "Difference Engines" - this was in the mid-19th Century.

Babbage simply called the machines difference engines.

The first electronic computer was probably Colossus (built in 1943/44 to decode German codes).

ENIAC was built in 1944; until the disclosure of the wartime work at Bletchley Park, this was considered the earliest electronic computer.
