Current client co have a very confusing system which is logical but took me a year to work out. Dev machines have an 'adi' inserted in the middle of their name - still not worked out what that's supposed to stand for, and not helped when the iis server is called .....adiiss instead of ....adiiis

Minor Discworld characters for most of mine.
This is being typed on Hex. Phone is Errol, iPad is Binky. Old iMac is Gaspode.
In my long ago sys admin days I ran a University research dept. where all the servers were given one word band names. Pulp, Suede, Elastica etc.

You mostly have to name it. My phones tablets etc are 'doodabs htc one', 'doodabs tablet' etc but real machines get named after solar system objects, except a sun t2000 which i decided to call terminator.
