I have two identical computers side-by-side on my KVM at work. What should I name them?

They're just about identical. They're both Dell Dimension 4100s, 1 GHz P3s, with 512 MB RAM each. One of them has a serial-ATA hard drive that the other lacks, and the other has a DVD ROM and a ZIp drive (the other one just has a CDRW). One has a Geforce2 MX and the other has a Riva TNT M64; one is running XP and the other Linux. I want to know what I should name them. The only requirement is that the names have to start with the same letter, so people browsing the network get the joke.

The only one that I can think of is Romulus and Remus. What else should I consider?

If people are just browsing the network of 50 or so computers, they might not get the reference if they're too far apart from each other.
