The Windows and Solaris boxes had numbers before i got there. A new guy started moving them to a name that included the os version like 'server-2008' in it. Never really liked that
Good to see I'm probably not the only one who worked with a monstrous single database for all the things named "Yggdrasil", and a job server that was seemingly constantly trying to take it down named "Nidhogg".

Fantastic, I have long used Culture Ship names [0] to name my devices but this is a far easier list to reference than others online

For LAN servers, I used to name my Linux machines after penguins. It seemed apt, made me smile, especially when new people came on board.

Could do with having Minecraft Blocks instead of just Minecraft Materials, that's what I use for my home network

The interesting taxonomy may be less about the source of the names and more about what properties they have
