My naming scheme is similar to yours, but based on Battlestar
Galactica. I have Caprica(router), Starbuck (Temperamental),
Galactica, Earth(Server), Cylon (Wireless router) and
Basestar(Laptop).
Names remain the same over different hardware - less work. For me it
is the data it holds or the function it performs that I name.
