I’ve ended up with a number of machines on my network, and a need to name them all in a somewhat logical way. For several years I had them named after the planets, which worked well until the PCs for myself, my girlfriend, servers and Raspberry Pi’s quickly summed up to more than the eight planets. I’ve broadened it somewhat to include any Greek/Roman mythological figure, but the system is definitely not as clean as it used to be.

Do you have a coordinated naming theme for your machines?

    I started with Die Hard characters (Hansgruber, NakatomiVault for Nas, John McClane, etc) but lately have been doing Back to the Future. I’ve got a Marty McFly, DocBrown (old server), and BiffTannen.
