Greek gods, heroes and historians are my favorites.  I started with Erris, 
goddess of strife and competition.  I get them from a Tulane professor's 
translation of Hesiod's Theogony for the most part.  If I run out, I'll use 
Roman names and then turn to Shinto or the bible, but I don't think I'll run 
out.  Historians and politicians are good names for servers.  If you know 
something about the machine's owner, you can have some fun.  Windows machines 
should all be named Pandora.  

Other names come from the box or person.  An old gateway 586 had a decal of a 
happy nuclear stick family and the word "family PC" on the front, so I named it 
familyPC.  My laptop is an IBM model 760LD, so I named it old76.  Oddball names 
like Erno, just have to be used as is.  

A physics grad student at LSU named his workstation Elvis so that ping would 
return "elvis is alive".
