Not for the OPs reason, but a long time ago I started to use "meaningful names" like ethext, ethint, and so on. Making it clearer in config files what each interface is. On one box (router) I had a fair number of interfaces (I can recall at least 8 inc 3 PPP (VDSL2) networks) - made remembering what's what a heck of a lot easier. Also did the same thing with my Xen guests - gave the interfaces on the host meaningful names via the guest config files. I think removing the need to remember something is better than being good at remembering it (which I'm not anyway !)
