I remember in the past an excellent system using Sesame Street characters names.

I've done things like this, but I confine it to my workstations. My network devices and production systems follow a pretty straightforward naming system. Workstations in past lives have been: Addams Family characers (lurch, gomez, pugsley...) Guitar effects (whammy, distortion, reverb, delay...) Nothing (nullroute, bitbucket, discard...) jms

This only works in small shops. If you have more routers than muppets, you have a problem. Had a lab once where we named machines after colors. That hit some snarls when we discovered nobody in the lab could consistently spell 'fuschia', 'mauve', or 'paisley'. :)

If your DNS is RFC3490-enabled, you can go for the Klingon and Romulan ships too. Particularly handy if you're into security through obscurity. :)

Doesn't scale though :( Hence the rapid emergence of southpark-naming-draft-001.txt, flintstones-naming-draft-001.txt. Not to mention the grover / super-grover / new-grover / new-super-grover incident. Regards, Tim.
