@ work currently we have 8 servers. the naming scheme is boring/generic. my boss said setup most of the servers when he took over the IT dept, but couldn't think of something creative to name the servers. [he just went generic - company initials (WA) then something descriptive of the server's role - ie: WAEX, WAMAIN, WAMK - exchange, main fileserver, and mk (our erp system)]

we are getting three new servers, and exchange should be getting an upgrade in the next year or two. So its my job to get a good naming scheme for our new servers and future servers.

mythology/gods - zeus, hermes, isis, etc
animals/fish - tomcat, bear, wolf - hammerhead, greatwhite, tigershark
astronomy - planets, constellations, etc
tv shows/cartoons - character names from various shows/cartoons
alcohol brands - bud, coors, sam adams - captmorgan, absolute, greygoose

Those are ok, but Im sure someone more creative can come up with something better...any of those creative people here?
