Best naming convention for computer name is deployment year + service tag.

the best small network naming scheme is the table of elements matched to their ips, so like hydrogen is always the gateway and you know that boron is at 10.0.0.5

we only have 3 servers in the office and they are all named after poo poo thats in visible range when we name them. one was “ridgid” because there was a shopvac nearby. another one was “mark” because mark was nearby.

most of my stuff is fairly descriptively named. my big servers are always named after communist leaders, computers are usually a reference to performance or their primary function

pc is named "jupiter" and its internal drives along with everything that connects to it is named after the various moons of jupiter. the nas is named "jupiter station" and my mac mini is named saturn, though really i should probably name it mercury or pluto or something because it's a small machine

my hostnames used to have a theme like titans or astronomical bodies. now they're some word related to how/why i have the machine. my steam deck is called 'games', my work work laptop is grunt, my personal work laptop is krampus because i bought it near xmas. personal personal laptop is impulse, because it was an impulse buy

it was fun to manage a network with a couple dozen hosts where the host name for a box with a given low order octet was the corresponding chemical element

"topx0r". Not sure if anyone every used this unironically. one of my co-workers calls them "hostess". I haven't figured out if he's amusing himself, or that's just how he pronounces "hosts".
