On convention that I developed at a former employer for mashine names
consists of coding the diferent positions in the name with diferent
meanings.
* Letters 1: Geographical location (city or main datacenter)
* Letters 2-4: Department or building
* Letters 5-6: OS
* Letters 7-8: Counter to ID individual mashines at the location.
You could probably invent something similar for your use.
