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?

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

urmom = main pc

fbi = rpi 4 with docker + pihole + 2x unbound

Meta machines on my system offer data. Infra machines on my system run the network (infrastructure). But my favourite is naming all my HDD’s platters; Media Platters, Service Platters, etc.

After starting with X-Men characters and quickly running out I moved to Star Wars planets as there are a lot more of them

I've changed my naming scheme so many times that its practically a set-of-sets at this point. But, "board games" is a good long one if you have a lot of machines.

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)

I use the names of females that have (had) significance in my life.
