    At the University (West coast, USA), it was a mix based on the department. I worked in the physics lab, and all the machines were named after physicists.

    Then I spent a decade in industry on the east coast, and all the machines were named by the common “scheme”: location, purpose, number, etc. Very dry, unimaginative, and IMHO, very East Coast Corporate.

    My personal servers are Greek Titans - Phaethusa, Tethys, etc. - and my home network is Middle Earth-based: WiFi networks are forests, servers and PCs are swords. I give our phones our initials; modern phones don’t last long enough to name.
