Sadly I have to admit...  luke, leia, kenobi, vader, chewie.

However, by far the coolest naming system I've heard of (and one I
think mentioned briefly in the RFC Michael posted) is names of
elements.

This has the two advantages, besides having cool sounding names - the
name space is fairly big, so you won't run out, and each element
corresponds neatly to a number. Call 192.168.1.1 "hydrogen" (maybe
even give it "h" as well), 192.168.1.2 "heilium" (he), 192.168.1.3
"lithium" (li), etc etc.

This might be handy if you want to get to "carbon", for example, but
your nameserver is down for whatever reason. If you have a periodic
table handy (like, say, in your head ;)  then you'll know it's the
machine with 192.168.1.6.

Cheers,
Gareth
