Techie sillies.

There are things hardware Ought Not Do. This is one of them.

And then there are the joys of network geekery...such as naming your domain 'Federation' and theming all the servers after it - Spock, Kirk, etc. The following two posts expand on this theme: One and two.

Choosing naming conventions is VERY important. I love it.

One place I was at we picked Transformers. Autobots, specifically. That was fun. My internal machines are named after Amberites (and Amber related things), which has been more than a little amusing. And the printers were Pattern and Logrus. My current main fileshare space is "serpent" on "Abyss". The actual PCs are various Amberites, and the girls machines were all females. I had a print server for a while named Ygg that Pattern & Logrus both hooked up to.
And I have the IPs & names already set aside in my DNS. In birth order, of course.

We've got lots of different naming convensions in this place depending on the groups. There are several groups that use Trek namings. We have Sarek, Guinan, Odo, Crusher, Picard and FarPoint in our group. We also have had some named from the Arthurian legend: Merlin, Lancelot, Gawain, Gareth, Galahad, Avalon and Camelot. All but Merlin and Lancelot are gone now. Lots of LOTR namings too. It's important stuff and requires many hours of thought and debate! :)
