Elder sysadmins: share your ridiculous server naming schemes.

I'll go first: Dune.

Mailservers named after guild navigators, all-purpose utility server that changed identities all the time was "Scytale," 40 DHCP servers all named "Duncan Idaho," etc.

@SiteRelEnby @Quinnypig "types of alcoholic drink" is actually one I did on my personal fleet. Including...

apple (wine)
beer
booze
chardonnay
flirtini
kahlua
keg (OK, adjacent, but it was a Compaq Proliant 5000R, and thus fitting)
margarita
midori
port
rum
vodka
wine
zinfandel

I'm probably missing some; this was from an old asset management database (that it still boggles my mind that I wrote 😂).
