I always liked the idea of having a naming scheme for naming computers, from the days when i worked at the university they gave servers, names after planets like Uranus and Neptune, when i later started setting up computers at home i went on with my own naming scheme i selected the Norse mythology, later on i started using the different elements for machines outside my network. i seen people using many different naming schemes like, movie stars, diary products.
it gives the machines something personal meaning and it’s funny when people ask why they are named the way they are, no matter what, it’s a good ice breaker :).
Even the laptop I’m using for writing this post is named Njord :).
Here’s a list of possible naming schemes that i like:
if you want more possible naming schemes take a look at namingschemes.com there should be a scheme for everybody :).
Happy naming.
