Do you guys have any scheme for naming your PCs?
I'm doing fresh installs on all my boxes and was trying to figure out what naming convention to use. I used to name them after planets (most used would be earth, phone would be moon, server would be Jupiter, etc)
What do you guys do?
Other urls found in this thread:
planets or mythical gods
old polytheistic gods

Mostly locations, sometimes names from animu.

"Down",

Anything other than an abbreviation of your domain with -asset# is absolutely disgusting.

Have I cooled your autism? I mentioned planets to relate with OP
Does everything have to degrade into petty arguments on this website? Shit. I asked the simplest question in the goddamn world and it took less than 30 minutes for you people to start throwing around autism insults.
the fucker said planets and mythical gods are the same, not that one contained the other, I can't stand autists
It was 15 minutes ago. Look at the timestamps, dickhead.

It used to be a few good name generators.
I use a two themes, one for network infrastructure devices one for all else.
For network devices, like routers and servers, I use a metaphor related to roads or circuits coming together, like Nexus or Junction, for example.
For all else I use fire/heat/light. Some examples are: desktop is Maelstrom, laptop is Balefire, phone is Torch, etc.
Weird names. Where did you get them?
Morrowind/TES gods.

>Marisa
>Reimu
Fictional AIs, HAL9000, TARS, CASE, etc.
I name all my servers after serial killers. Bundy, Dahmer, Gacy, etc.
I name mine after the iron chefs from iron chef japan
At one of my old jobs the naming scheme was "Middle Earth Geography."
Another one was "Characters from Top Gun."
I've had other schemes at other places but those were my faves.
