I need a name for this new file server.

All the other servers have mundane names like MAIL2, DC1, WWW1, etc.
I'd like to start using names that are a little more interesting.

What naming schemes do the admins in this forum use for their servers?

tehfi13zorz?

We only have one server here, so I just named it the company name with "svr" on the end.

I used to use muscle cars and Superman character names. Now, I use WWII ship names (US, Russia, and Germany).

80's tv shows. We had knightrider, airwolf, etc. X-Men characters, homestarrunner.com names, anything really. Get creative. Currently ours are named after Alias the tv show characters.

I wish i had a cluster of servers. If I did I would name them after popular TV shows that I used to love to watch on day time TV as a kid...

A-Team
Airwolf
MacGyver
HeMan

Or perhaps, TV characters from A-Team:
BABarakus
FaceMan
and so on...

I know someone who uses the character names from Lord of the Rings. I use the names of planets and moons.

That's the one I was looking for: Adult Swim characters! Futurama maybe.

We have many:

airportcode-role-region-childobject-domain.com etc.

They get kind of cryptic after a while.

Looks in MNP....

Hmmm... 3402 objects.

Cheers!
