Mimicing a thread I saw elsewhere.
I generally use this list to name my machines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mythological_objects
For my main server I use loeding: a modified version of Lædingr, a chain forged by Thor to bind and were broken by Fenrir. (Norse Mythology)
Similar to my scheme:
laptop = “laptop”
nas = “nas”
router = “router”
Then if there are more than one in each category I use nas-0, nas-1, etc.
