WHS Good server names? :)

My game name is Chocolatemilk so the rebirth of my environment are all things that come from milk. I am in Houston and am no way a farmer.

Main PC - Chocolatemilk
2nd PC - 2Percentmilk
3rd PC - Wholemilk
Lan PC - Skimmilk
HTPC - IceCream
Laptop - Cheese
WHS - theFridge
 
I typically give my hard drives and PCs spaceship names...I'm a Star Wars nerd at heart so I name them like the Ebon Hawk, Slave 1, etc (No Millennium Falcon yet though :p). And I really like the name of your ship in Mass Effect for some reason so I recently called my latest 1TB drive the Normandy.
 
It's no WHS box, but the main server for my house is "DatNAS"

One of these days I'll print out the "DAT ASS" smiley thing and put on it.

I used to give all of mine Borg drone designations. 3rd of 5 and so on.

I like borg designations. I have twin boys, and wanted to name them 1 of 2 and 2 of 2. Wife said no, even after I explained to her that would make her the borg queen, and the borg queen is one hot sexy bitch!! Oh well.

I don't have a whs server, but if I did, I'd name it serverizer. It would fit well with printerizer (print server) and routerizer (not explaining another in this pattern)
 
Most of my stuff is based off greek gods.

Wireless: Hermes (Messenger of the gods)
Gaming PC: Zeus
File Sever 1: Hestia (Goddess of the hearth and home, the focal point of every household.)
File Server 2: Kronos
Worstation: Atlas
HTPC: Prometheus
Netbook: Wes-Mini (gotta find one for this guy)
 
mediaserver. does exactly what the name implies.
the htpc are named as follows
mediacenter-livingroom
mediacenter-bedroom

and my laptop:
lappy386
 
Anyone recognize my naming scheme?

WHS - Fallot
Main Computer - Truncus
Itunes server - Transposition
Laptop - Atresia
Wife's Comp - Coarctation
Wife's Laptop - PDA

This. It's a server, not your pet.

Hm... You don't take care of your server when needed ? Upgrades etc etc... In this way, it's pet after all :D

I cleaned out my fridge this weekend and restocked it with beer, but I didn't give it a name. ;)

My fridge's name is Larry. Larry and I are best buds. Why? Larry is one of those friends everyone wants to have. He helps get me wasted, feeds me when I'm craving, and best of all, he's soooo cool.

:D
 
Primary Server: Galactica

nice naming system.

To be more accurate, should not the galactica be on an airgap network, and the cylon callsigns be assigned to viruses? w32.boomer.sohot?
 
Mine isn't really consistent:
Server: Cosmos
VM's: Scount, Wurlitzer, Commander
Workstations: Coolpix, Cerebellum, Apollo
Laptops: Mercury (win XP partition), Mercury7 (win 7 RC partition), i700
Media PCs: Galaxy, Pundit

Think I'm missing a couple, but you get the idea.
 
Galactica naming system actually makes a lot of sense to me. Nicely conceived! Easy to remember, you just have to learn the background logic behind it. :)
 
I forgot, my netbok is the only one thats not named something like mikes PC or server, its named mini-me

I used to call my systems names of craters found on large stars. After my one system got big enough to reach the capacity of all systems, it just became known as galaxy.
 
Desktop: Robot
Laptop: Water
WHS: Fist

Fist computer was Darwin because I kept upgrading parts so it constantly evolved

I used to use naming schemes like the deadly sins, planets or fruits but I have so many computers coming in and out of my posession that I just don't care as much anymore.

You posted after me, poser. :D

Don't feel bad, my dinky server would be eaten alive by yours.

Man, another person also has the same name!! I've had this server name since umm 1999 I think... it's like an Elvis.... often imitated, never duplicated :D


haha
 
Server: Blackstone (after the magician)
Personal boxes are usually named: MyInitialsHere-Purpose, such as Initials-Torrent, Initials-Laptop, etc.


Public accessibly machines are named after whatever inspires me at the moment I am naming it. My old P3 that I have resurrected several times is Lazarus; my living room desktop PC is Archimedes.
