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?

My devices are all named after things from the Star Wars universe, in particular:
- Stationary computers are named after planets (my “main” PC is Coruscant, the old “main” that was Coruscant before is now Corellia, etc.)
- Laptops are named after mega-stations (DeathStarI, DeathStarII, Starkiller, etc.)
- Tablets and comparable sized devices are named after giant starships like the Super Star Destroyers (Executor, Lusankya, KnightHammer, etc.)
- Mobile phones are named after regular sized starships (like Tydirium, TantiveIV, SlaveI, EbonHawk, etc.)
