Full of Titanium go-fast bits!
We use girls names - yes mainly pornstar names - but you only need the first name.
Nobody can object to working on 'Jessica'.....
but when you work on Jessica...... you can be thinking about working Jessica Alba (http://thetrawbros.files.wordpress.c...-bikini-07.jpg)

I've seen all sorts....... such as Gandolf / Stonebow (Otago uni), through to the Periodic element tables and even plane jane stuff like the Universe planet names.
I've never come across porn star names yet, hell I'm in the wrong job

Best Frenemy you could have!
If you want a laugh, I remember one of the guys working on Cecil at Auckland Uni had his own server called Pikachu... I'm sure there are a lot of those names...
For our own sites, they are incredibly boring in comparison to you lot... company shortcode, machine suffix (srv for server, ws for workstation, lp for laptop, and so on) then a 3 digit number.
Hard part is when they change their name several times over

The Ministry for Education was full of Pokemon servers.

I've used animal diseases in the past. When someone I didn't like got a unix box I gave them really long names.
Here's a starter for 10

oh dear god ! ... LOL .
I enforce a naming standard that goes on company, business unit, location, function, number.
makes it easy to know what a system does just by looking at the name..
i still get pissed off when i find servers named after characters from Xmen .. LOL ... what the hell does that system do ???
<- A new way to take a rubber!
You'll run out of names any any larg(ish) corporate.
A good rule of thumb is 4-5 users per server. Therefore plan in your naming scheme to support that many servers.
Personally, I prefer swear words or bodily functions.. causes much embarrassment and confusion... plus you get to invent some:
fart
shit
burp
convulse
pee
boopalate
expressions like
"I need to drop fart" or "burp won't come up" make sense to everyone.
etc.
One, two free, floor!
Supermodels.
Less risque but you can still say Elle just went down on you...!

An educational alternative - we used to use Greek Gods... sadly... and ironicvally because my previous suggestion of supermodels was seen through by management

The last few machines I've just pulled names out of my arse
desktops:
- womble (mine)
- wibble
- jeremy
- yomama (that's reserved for 1 of the guys so he can say with a straight face that he's working on yomama)
servers:
- monster - can't use swear words so fuckenshitstainwankerpieceofarsehair wasn't allowed
- chucky
At home I've got
- roflcopter
- lolzskates
- pants
Haircuts could be interesting
- mullet
- shortbacknsides
- flattop
- brazilian
... and quite a few others
Countries of the world are good for 195 machines.
Spank should use Serial Killers names.
Body parts would be interesting. There's too many people and not enough embarassing names
- vulva
- sphincter
- nuts
- penis
- nosehair
- pubes
- dangleberry
Sensible naming schemes based on function, location etc are the reason CNAME's exist!!
Lot's to consider ...
