What is your machine naming scheme? (startrek.website)

I've ended up with a number of machines on my network, and a need to name them all in a somewhat logical way. For several years I had them named after the planets, which worked well until the PCs for myself, my girlfriend, servers and Raspberry Pi's quickly summed up to more than the eight planets. I've broadened it somewhat to include any Greek/Roman mythological figure, but the system is definitely not as clean as it used to be.

Do you have a coordinated naming theme for your machines?

All of my personal machines are Autobots.

At work we use space probes (Voyager, Pioneer, New Horizons, etc). We're a small satellite communications company.

I've not played for years but I still have a YuGiOh cards naming scheme.

My Synology is named Atlas because it’s my main file storage box (and has a most of my services running on it).

My VPS is called Aurora after the atmospheric phenomenon because cloud server.

And my little laptop I installed a server Linux distro on is called Challenger because I find it challenging to work with Fedora Server sometimes

My server is named Yggdrasil and my devices are named after the 9 realms.

@aquova @selfhosted

My personal domain name is AZK.Ware (azkware.net) so it follows that my machines are called azkware-desktop, azkware-server and azkware-laptop

Various computers/robots from media.

My desktop is Eddie (The name of the shop's computer from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and my home server is HEX (the weird magic computer in the High Energy Magic building at Unseen University in the Discworld novels)
