   all my tech is named after greek myths so its recognisable to me and my terrible memory on a network wifi or whereever even if i forget what it is the name informs me - HERMES is my phone, DIONYSUS is the led projector, MINOTAUR was my last big design stack PC which would growl when you booted it up, my last gold/sandstone metal laptop was called SPHINX, and the replacement is going to be ARGONAUT because im not happy naming a laptop JASON.

     all my brothers tech is named after Norse mythology also. It's a weird and silly thing from growing up in a household where your parents were running a computing company out of your home and every server and computer had to have names. All the servers began with a B, so Baldrick, Blackadder, Bluebeard, Bananarama etc

     thats what happens when you're 7 years old and taught you need to have naming protocol for your tech.

     @siege I feel like your excellent naming scheme and explanation deserves be an internet-wide survey! I'm curious what systems other folks use.

     All our hardware here is named after fruits and there are some specific unwritten-but-codified rules. Plum was the purple laptop, peach is the cute little server, etc.

     @ItsJenNotGoblin fun fact is Universal Music's Digital Rights database that became industry standard was built on bananarama. Before then they didnt keep record of digital sales unless you made a very high amount monthly.
