Re: Computer Names
Some good sugestions there - surprised nobody has mentioned good old Lord of The Rings yet....
Gandalf, Bilbo, Frodo etc...
Star Wars characters?
Personally I prefer more meaningful ID like DB, Exch, CTX, DC etc.
For workstations in the past I have used the serial number...

Re: Computer Names
At work, we have rather a lot of PCs so we had to switch to a standardised naming system.
Previously, only the PC servers had standardised names. Our Unix admin named all the machines he managed after Disney or Red Dwarf characters. Staff were allowed to name their own
pC_
Now, all the staff computer names begin with their "owner's" surname, followed by their initial and an optional suffix (eg "-laptop" for a laptop). Staff computers that are not assigned to a particular person are named with a one word description of the computer's function.
Lab computers have a different naming scheme. This consists of a two digit code for the building. Following this, there is a 3 digit room number, a - and finally a computer number.

Precisely why I have "ceilingcat" so that when it isn't working people complain "Ceiling cat is down!" xD

Well that's boring. How many would you consider too many for individual naming?

Re: Computer Names
There were shed loads of Roman emperors, even discounting those who shared the same name (I II etc). Always a good bet
