So time to change my mythology....
-
Someone else started naming their computers after Greek Gods/Goddesses and Hyperion got hit today with "same name on the network) bit.... well, I figured it had to happen eventually... so I am finally jumping ship to a new naming scheme... Aztec/Maya/Inca. I figured unless we get a 2012 obsessed person in here, they are not likely to think of Adawulcanak or Tliewatuwadjigican. Oh someone might, maybe, possibly think of Quetzalcoatl, but there is no way they are spelling it without a google, so chances are it won't be worth trying. :) I lasted 4 years naming machines from Greek Gods. :) Not too bad. :) Think I can last at least 4 years with Aztec/Maya/Inca Mythological names? :-D

Go for Quantum Particles. Higgs Boson Gluon Quarkonium (that's got a nice ring to it) Here's a list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_particles[^] to get you going.

Like it. :) We've mostly gone for obscure satellites, with the odd star, constellation or ringer thrown in. From memory we currently have: Laptops: Elara, Ophelia, Gabrielle*, Cortex Desktops: Xena (the big black box full of Vogons), Galatea, Larissa Servers: Vega, Orion, Sirius. Defunct/retired: Lysithea, Amalthea, Europa, Ganymede, Taurus, Adrastea and one I can't remember (but as it was a Sony it doesn't count anyway). * Bought at the same time as Xena and tended to orbit it for a while. A bit of an in-joke, really.

I can't tell you what my computers are called, because of the Kid Sister rule... Suffice to say that I take great delight when someone asks "What's the name of the SQL server?" and I can reply, with a reasonably straight face "*&^%HEAD". The password, of course, is "ItsASecret"

If you believe the Aztec mythology, you will only have to last out until 2012!

A long time ago, we had a small Sun network used for development. The server was named 'Sun', and the workstations were named after the planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and so on. We had a Q.A. guy who was a complete jerk. He insisted he had to have a workstation in order to perform his testing. Needless to say, we skipped to 'Uranus' for him.

When networks were new, and we started our first, they used the name of planets. The first node was Mars, and we had Jupiter, etc. However, we never did get to all 9 ... I was really looking forward to telling people they could find their data on Uranus!

We had a sysadmin who used to name her servers with Gangster's names. We had Capone, Dillinger, etc. The best ones were a set of replicated machines called, what else, Bonnie and Clyde.
