Just for the record, the Canaveral you are thinking about is derived from the spanish word "Caņaveral", which is a place where "caņas" grow (canes or stems, according to my dictionary -- some sort of vegetal living form anyway). I suppose Cape Kennedy was filled with those plants and that's what the name comes from.
I dunno if Chris' machine's name derives from that or not; Merriam Webster does not list any other meaning for that word.
All our server machines are named after launch sites/space centres. It might have been a bit of a mistake, since we're starting to run out of names now, and the Japanese names are just too much of a mouthful :)
