@Gavin,
+1 on removing profanity.
This bug is not as much about creating "memorable" machine names.
It's just about creating machine names that one can pronounce.
It's really hard and ugly to say, "Hey Gavin, can you SSH into sdfknz?"
Versus, "Hey Gavin, can you check port 80 on sidewalls?"

Whilst this seems like a reasonably good idea for small deployments and
demo, it doesn't really add value to the larger picture of hyperscale
IMO. It steers towards treating the machines as pets, rather than

resources.
If someone is *desperate* for a pronounceable name in MAAS, there is

While I can grant most of your points, Dave and Julian, for some
deployments of MAAS (or even other clouds), there are plenty of cases
where random machine names are not very user friendly.
As a compromise, what if this were a configurable option, in the MAAS
configuration? Something like:
HOST
We had a discussion with sabdfl at the cloud sprint this week, and in
fact, he is 100% behind this change.

stunning-cabbage gets my vote as a host name any day. Next, awesome-
