Coolest Servers/Computer Names

hey guys,
what are the coolest server name or computer names that you ran into or that u came up with.

is there a naming convention that you have to follow ? or u just name them :)

here are couple of stories :
The funniest server name story I have is from when I worked at the Kennedy Space Center. On our particular project, our main server was named snowwhite, and the 7 client workstations were named after the Seven Dwarves. The kicker is, one day one of our engineers ran into a Disney Imagineer who worked at Walt Disney World, and they started talking about server names. The Disney Imagineer said "that's funny, we have a group of servers named columbia, challenger, atlantis, and discovery."

Re: Coolest Servers/Computer Names

at my previous job, for a group of servers we were following the names of the 3 musketeers (athos, porthos and aramis) and for another group of servers it was greek gods (aphrodite, apollo, zeus, ...).
at uni the servers were called after asterix caracters (asterix, obelix, idefix, panoramix, ...)

Re: Coolest Servers/Computer Names

Back in the states we used to always call'em after famous authors / poets.

At home. I always write down words that I like and then save them for future computers. I also open up a thesaurus.
I refuse to have a plain named computer.

My Research computer: Curious George
My Mac Backup: Macnificent
My Creative Computer: Volatile Impulse
My PC Backup: Behemoth

The list goes on :)
