Suggest some cool workgroup and computer names

[Fandu]

The old 'Workgroup' is getting really old, suggest some cool ones and computer names to go along.

 

[SendTrash]

in ESUC we name all the computers after disney characters:

examples: gadget, zurg, buzz, gizmoduck and etc..


you can also use star trek ships

 

[bigbootydaddy]

pimpstation

A Duron Computer: DURONemo! Thats my 2 cents worth

 

[vi edit]

I had the workgroup "Poop" once with 'pooter names "Turd", "Buttnugget", and "Sh!tbox"

[edit]Humorous true story I had dial in access to my university network while in college. Somehow, while dialed in, my workgroup of "Poop" showed up in the overall network topography. My friend was working in the campus server room when the admin found the workgroup "Poop". I guess the admin just got this wierd look on her face, scrunched up her nose and said "Poop?!?" really loud. [/edit]

[littleprince]

Our three webservers at work are called---

Spidey
Dr. Doom
Kingpin



spidey.xxxxxxx.com, etc.

 

[Noriaki]

My workgroup name was "Lord of the Rings" and my computers were all named after characters. My goal was to get 9 computers on the network

 

[ThisIsMatt]

BitBangers

 

[Paulson]

we just named this webserver (mvtvwireless.com's new server) clarkgriswald (computer name) and tommyboy for the workgroup...

 

[RossMAN]

Talk show hosts.

 

[DaveJ]

I have my machines named after stars and star constellations: Orion, Vega, Lyra, Cygnus, etc. At work we have tons of naming schemes... birds of prey (Raven, Raptor, Condor, Vulture, etc.), Greek letters (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, etc), and Star Wars are some of the big ones...

knights of the round table

 

[Fandu]

LOL, hey those ae pretty good guys, keep em coming.

Ameesh: What are their names?

 

[sohcrates]

whatever you name them, it's fun to put a big "hello my name is..." sticker on the side. always gives end users a chuckle.

 

[RaoulDuke]

our workgroup/directory is the name of our company it's lame. same for all the servers. their name just describes what they do

 

[BowDown]

Just keeping it simple... "LAN"

 

[Urinal Mint]

Smurfs

 

[Locutus of Board]

Use constellations

 

[brtspears2]

Just keep them generic and easy to read.
In my small network, I use the format:

RoomNumber-ComputerNumber

Sure beats naming all your computers after each US State. Who knows where that computer can be.

But if you got kids, Disney characters work great.

 

[Fandu]

Na, something farout and crazy. StarTrek is a little too 'geekish', but the cartoon characters is a good idea.

 

[rudder]

We use CLAVIN for our exchange server at work.

 

[Urinal Mint]

Name them after BEERS!

 

[Cougar]

POS

PITA

SOL

ummm.....and any other acronyms like that.
