Naming conventions - What do you call your PC's?

Postby Kamikazee » Thu Nov 01, 2007 4:51 pm

For anyone who has worked in IT or around IT will have noticed that either the Computers and Servers have a strict naming convention. Some places have 'less than strict' naming conventions - like my UNI where each server is an animal name starting with 'sea' (ie sealion, seahorse etc).

So what do you name your PC(s) ? ...

My systems are named after locations/items in the Final Fantasy games (geeky as hell i know). My Wireless is called "Zanarkand", my laptop is called "Ragnarok" (an airship out of FF8), my server is "Narshe", and my workstation is "Spira" (a world name, short for 'spiral' .. as the planet is in a spiral of death (mwahahhaah).

For some reason I used to name my machine 'tk421' ...

Mine are completely random. The Tower of Power is called "windis", the media centre "bag-end" and my spare PC (sometimes Linux, sometimes XP) has been known variously as "n00buntu", "your-mum", etc.

The Local Library names them after Flintstones characters.
At home I name them after the computer owner. EG. "Mark's computer"... or it used to be, "Pool room computer".

In the midst of a uni assignment on DNS, I stumbled across a host somewhere on campus called "mens-toilet".
