Help me search :D some people name them after Roman Gods some name them things like eternity , or after moutains like Rushmore Ive seen some name them Fred lol most ppl name them after something strong or a play on their hosting co's name Whats your co's name? nickn 07-06-2003, 01:16 PM We name ours after planets/stars/constellations mostly, pretty much anything astronomy related... Obviously it's a play on the name of our company. :) akashik 07-06-2003, 01:22 PM We name ours after an old British TV series 'The Wombles'.. :) techmark 07-06-2003, 02:12 PM sci-fi programs, or the ships in the sci-fi programs :D Nymix-CB 07-06-2003, 02:16 PM We use Budha, Amidala and Allah. plugged 07-06-2003, 02:20 PM Just choose a set of names that matches your company name and offers plenty more names (you do want to expand, don't you?) nickn 07-06-2003, 02:26 PM Exactly. We figure there's plenty of stars in the galaxy....if we start running out of stars and/or constellation names..well....that can't happen heh. I agree though, I think having a good naming convention is fun. Even better is when you start referring to your servers as male or female (each server is different!)

Anyways, when I had a lot of computers, I named them after characters in my RPG. dbbrock1 07-06-2003, 03:14 PM I name my machines after Captain Planet! Earth/Fire/Wind/Water/Heart! daveman 07-06-2003, 03:29 PM TV series characters. IGobyTerry 07-06-2003, 04:26 PM I name mine after my favorite bands PCplayground 07-06-2003, 05:05 PM Originally posted by inogenius I name mine after my favorite bands That would get weird. I hope your favorite bands have decent names. I wouldn't want my server called "Suicide Machines" or "Apathy" or "Suicidal Tendencies" Out of those 3, Apathy would be the worst. Of course things like: Eagles Beatles BadCompany would seem decent. theqase 07-06-2003, 05:15 PM Homer Marge Lisa Maggie Bart Montgomery Moe Apu Smithers Krusty Sideshow You could always name them simpsons characters Laci2 07-06-2003, 05:17 PM Originally posted by dbbrock1 I name my machines after Captain Planet! Earth/Fire/Wind/Water/Heart! 5 AM everyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy morning I hear that cartoon! nickn 07-06-2003, 06:20 PM I'm sorry. Nah, Captain Planet was good in it's day.

Did that years ago in a computer lab, all the computers were named for characters in snow white :D |
