There's nothing funny about Eärendur's firewall locking out Mungojerri
I use Middle Earth naming (lots from the Silmarillion). My wife
insists on naming her stuff and she uses names from musicals. A
bird's eye view of our network at home would look pretty funny...

I've used a couple of different conventions at home, none of
which is current. Probably the best of that bunch was names from
C.J. Cherryh's "Fortress In the Eye of Time" series, using place
names for desktops and servers (because they tend to stay put)
and person names for laptops (because they m

Couldn't be. I was gone by summer '05. IIRC, the SAN crash I'm referring
to was in '03.

Like mythology, any sci fi theme is overused and common. But still
nice. I'm partial to Hitchhikers Guide myself. heartofgold, magrathea,

I name all of my computers after Radiohead songs:
http://www.ateaseweb.com/songs/
So far I have named computers (and other things):
talkshowhost - mythtv server
lewis (mistreate) - Laptop
ifrozeup - My brother's old comptuer
I know this has come up before, but I'm just curious again to see if
anybody has any clever ways of choosing names/hostnames for their
computers and other devices. For example, I always liked mythology, and
so I thought I was being *really* creative when I named my computers
things like "artemis"
