Naming Conventions

I've found computers to be easy to name in the past... for example, my laptop is named after its model number [R50e]; my main PC is named after the project title I used whilst making it [Red19]; my fileserver is self explanatory [Fileserver]. At work, I've named/numbered them according to location - so in the Community Learning Centre, they're CLC## [CLC01] onwards.

I have just purchased a room full of PCs along with a second server, for a new training room we're having built. Naming them could have been plain and boring - Sims## for example (Sims being the name of the building).

But, being the [semi]Geek that I am, I decided to use another method. After a few minutes racking my brain for ideas, I stumbled across this wiki page, detailing the Star Wars galaxy. Sucess! Name them after galaxies/planets/moons in the Star Wars universe. I needed 10 for each client PC, as the fileserver was to remain plain and boring [Fileserver]. Instead of picking 10 of the most famous planets, I opted for Star Wars Galaxies choice of planets:

  • Corellia
  • Dantooine
  • Dathomir
  • Endor
  • Lok
  • Naboo
  • Rori
  • Talus
  • Tatooine
  • Yavin4
The more observant/geeky of you will notice that some are in fact, moons. But I was pleased that I didn't have to manually pick 10. And as it's from the Star Wars universe - if the number of client PCs ever expands, I can always pick a few more from the huge list.

Keeping on topic - I don't remember the terrain in Galaxies looking this good.
