Now my left-brain is arguing with the right-brain. Some of our test/dev DBs are (or have been):
MULTI, ARENA, ORBIT, RALLY, and EMPIRE (the word "playground" was too long...) And I've created at one point or another: DUPLO, AMIGA, PLINK, CHEWY, HOPS, EDGE, ENCLAVE, and TICK. No one's really able to figure out what they're used for by the name, but then again it doesn't take that long to familiarize yourself with Ford/Chevy/Mopar, Pepsi/Coke/RC, or Oracle/DB2/SQueaL_Server, either. It's no worse than trying to remember that "QTIERPP1" could be QTI's first production ERP DB, but giving servers and DBs theme names is a whole lot more fun.
