Before my company merged, they used Sesame Street characters...
Bert, Ernie, Bbird, Oscar, Elmo (was actually a homegrown software program), Snuffy.
Now they use Geo/OS type names... which are boring but informative.
At home... HALxxxx (xxxx = the year I bought the computer).
HAL 1999, HAL2003, HAL2004.
Server is HAL9000.
Although I did just deliniate and named a new laptop Nomad. No idea why.
My SSID is starbucks.

A place I used to compute at had a network of workstations each named after a famous communist, Marx, Engels, Stalin etc.
They also had another network where the machines were all named after types of trees.

Domain is scifience.jp.
Servers are named by geographical location and then server number (tyo001, tyo002, sjc003, sat001, etc.)
Workstations are just random Japanese words. Looking at the list of clients, I have machines named okonomiyaki, tsubasa, and miko, among others.
