at work we have the office machines which are all named after gods and the service hosts which are kind of a mixed bag (characters from the simpsons, grateful dead, movies, linguists, and assassins)
I actually think it's useful to name service hosts after people because it engages
the highly developed cognitive processing we have for dealing with personality
temperament and events.
