In Romania exists an serious business hosting which named his nodes like characters from Shogun serial.
I use superhero names, usually related to their role.. RipHunter is a Stratum 1 time server for example.
One of this country's biggest ISPs I worked at used Simpsons characters for names.
I name my VPSes like this: providername-location-number.
hosthatch-sg1 (HostHach Singapore 1)
liteserver-nl1 (LiteServer Netherlands 1)
greencloud-ca1 (GreenCloud California 1) - If it's the US, I use the 2-letter state code.
country(n)-provider-city(optional)
us1-racknerd-lax
us2-crunchbits-spk
de1-hostbrr
<Hex of IPv4>-<Random 2hu character>-<Country Code>other information like provider, specific location, and awesome IPv6 subnet was on/etc/motd<ISO 3166-1 alfa-2><Server Number>.<Domain>.<TLD>likede1.example.comI use mostly, provider name + location as server names.
racknerd-ny.myserver.com
buyvm-lu.myserver.com
buyvm-la.myserver.com
likewise.
Name them after user names on LET.
You can then divide them into two categories. Those you like and those you don't.
As an extra, you have someone to blame when things go sideways.
Eg. @emgh is slow.
my main server is called docker
it runs applications on docker
Skynet, Skynet, Skynet, Skynet, Skynet, Skynet..... ironically.
Easy to track for me with the provider name.
provider1.server.com
provider2.server.com
provider3.server.com
I use Pokemons to choose the name of my servers, anyone that has the same behavior?
I name mine after X-men characters, not helpful when it comes to remembering which server is which but fun none the less.
