Naming schemes

BergamotBergamot
edited May 2007 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
I need a good naming scheme for my computers. Currently, I'm using Lost character names (an idea which I ripped off from a small orange)

    For the pc's at work my server is called sun and the desktops are named after planets. For the ones at home I name them according to their job (geektop (my laptop), media (my media pc), dad (my dads pc))

    Colours can work, if your boxes are at least slightly different in colour it works better. Or different family members (big brother, gramps, etc).

    At work ours seem to be named after Greek Gods.
    At home there's two computers so they're named "Mine" and "Parents".

    If I do build a network though I shall name them on world currencies.

    My old system was color puns. I think I had "Gordon Blue", "Green Devolution", and "Reagent Orange" before I decided it was stupid.

    Oh, you could go a step further and have common surnames which are also professions. Mr. Baker, Mr. Smith, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Miller, Mr. Mason, and so on.

    this all creative, inspired and to be encouraged but Bergamot was asking only for "principal-agent", naming-scheme ideas.
