Over the years- and I'm not even in IT anymore- I've seen a lot of different server names and naming schemes.
Greek/Roman and sometimes Egyptian gods seem to be very common. I've worked with domain controllers named Thor and print servers named Isis, etc.
My company seems to prefer a logical approach- at least its logical to someone other than me. They use the first 3 letters of the data center's city then 4 letters of the server's function then a number. So an exchange server in Atlanta is atlexch01 for example.
At home I use ski resorts for servers and operating systems for workstations. My domain controllers are Aspen and Vail, my VoIP box is Whistler, etc...
I'm curious what everyone else out there uses or has seen. Anything good or original?
