As the title says.... what are your server names for WHS environments? Just looking for some creative ideas!
 
my intranet workgroup is called magicroundabout ( a UK TV show from when i was a child)

my server is called mr rusty
the computers/laptops have character names from the TV show

:cool::D

I do something along the same lines. My workgroup is called Avatar (a cartoon show) and all my comps are the character's pet names according to their size. So, if you know anything about the show, my server is called Appa, my everyday laptop is called Momo, and my 12" tablet is called Hawkie.
 
My main File Server is simply called "HUB" as in media hub, file hub, or whatever.
 
I used to name everything after the matrix, server was zion, my pc was neo wifes was trinity etc, now i just dont bother getting creative, server is server my pc is mikes pc etc.
 
Primary Storage: dawnstrider
Secondary Storage: runetotem
Primary Gateway: ragetotem
Others: alloy, anneal, cycle, temper

PCs use a completely different scheme. Nonsense words that are easy for me to remember. Gold star to the person who figures out the themes on the server side.
 
HAHAH, Im not the only one, all my PC's have the name Jay*****. IE, Jaysnetbook, Jaysmain.

My server is just Server :( But once I feel confident Ill keep WHS and use it Im gonna have to rename it JaysmassivestashoffilthypornboxofdoomthatIhopewifeneverfinds:D
 
My servers are all spider(role) off of my VH name. So mine is SPIDERWHS :)

Haha, cudos to those that know what VH is :), strong geek needed, hint michalappotis :)

I used to give all of mine Borg drone designations. 3rd of 5 and so on.
 
I guess I'm just lazy. My home server names follow my work server names.

DC-01, FS-01, MX-01, etc. Home server needs to be reloaded as I've downgraded to a single sbs server for home and it was called SBS2k3 or something. When I get around to loading 2k8 it will just end up being DC-01 or SBS1 or something.
 
Mines called Phoenix 1.0........2.0 is in the planning stage right now.
 
I'm pretty uncreative when it comes to things like this, so my server is just called "SERVER", desktop is "DESKTOP" and laptop is "LAPTOP".

Whodathunkit? :D
 
I used to name them after planets or moons, then after so many machines and retiring names when the machine was retired, I just decided to name them after what they do. Now my servers names' are Server1 and Server2, HTPC's are HTPC1 and HTPC2, KitchenPC, etc.
 
SMLib or ScarletLibrary sucked, so I decided on ScarletMonastery. That didn't fit, so it's now Redmonastery.

Couldn't think offhand of any other libraries. Yes, I do remember NOW about the Discs of Norgannon, Dalaran etc.
 
My WHS server is "servy", my general-use laptop/workstation is "poptart" and my gaming desktop rig is "bitchslap". Not sure what my girlfriend calls her laptop, but I think it is just "GIRLFRIENDNAME-PC". I think my router is named "subway", or it should be. I don't really know where the names came from, but they have been the same forever.

My old laptop I keep around for travel and such was named by a friend when I got it, and he named it "lollerskates".
 
Server names I have used...

Teletraan-1 - you gotta be a child of the 80's to know where this originates from.;)

Mnemosyne (Greek Goddess of memory) - Used for a File Server.

Biblios (Biblio is the greek prefix meaning a collection of books) - Used for a file server.

Cerberus/Kerberos (Three headed dog guarding hell) - I used this name for a server I built as a router and firewall.
 
Well since we are expanding to non-server names...
Daily machine = wormwood
Media machine = echo
Netbook = fermion
mITX Lamp server = titanium
GF machine = treehouse
GF iphone = Dragon's Blood (her pick, not mine)
 
I am not exciting in my computer names...

I use to name them after famous computers but then i started loosing track of what was what.

so I now am really exiting

sm-DC1 - domain
sm-FS1 - primary file server
sm-FS2 - Backup file server for important stuff, like documents
sm-VM1 - VM server
ETC.

I do keep one good name... Echelon can anyone guess what that is in my network.
 
Fileserver: Terabyte (Its actually almost 11TB now, but whatever, its still the original motherboard/psu from 2005).
Desktop: Woody (Never turned on anymore)
Laptop: WoodysLap
 
I'm boring:

Server 1: Server
Server 2: Server2
Laptop: laptop
Desktop: first name
 
Mine is Galactica, but it's taken so push off. :p

Honestly, just come up with something you like and use it, its not that important.

Tauren, specifically. But nobody's gotten the other theme yet. :)
I'm getting ready to rename the second set, though. Probably mythical creatures again, haven't used that rotation since 1996 or so.
