Boring! And doesn't go with how everything works either.
Which server is going to be Sun?
I thought about that, but doesn't make much sense unless we named Router or Switch the sun of which we won't be managing
Rename Galaxy to the Milky Way and name some other servers off of other galaxies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_galaxies#List_of_named_galaxies). For example, Andromeda Galaxy may have master Solus installed while the slaves copies of Solus are named after systems within Andromeda. And then have like Bode's Galaxy for the mailservers and whatnot.
The options are ENDLESS!

I used to do this but it got annoying typing server over and over, so now I use s*.
Lots of interesting ideas in this thread:

And at once, I have discovered...no one has any imagination
@HalfEatenPie will probably go with that type of thing if I can't find any better ideas
Or you know...
Location - RocketChicken.
or Location - RocketPig or Location - FlyingPig or Nuke-a-Saurus
Edit: Actually you know what? I like Nuke-a-Saurus. Don't use that. I'm gonna use it.
@HalfEatenPie Nuke-a-Saurus
Name them after porn stars, have some fun.
Name it: Ace, Fit, Gio, Mini, Prevail, Neo, Precedent, XCover, Nexus, etc
military alphabet? alpha, bravo, charlie..etc.
@Fliphost that's going to be the name of my VPS with you guys once I get back home from work :P
@HalfEatenPie
some nice names: lazypete, microvault, armitage, kusanagi, goodboy, sleepwell.... :-)
I name mine after Transformers, UK-based VPS after Autobots, US-based after Decepticons, anything else gets one of the Japanese variant names.
@Nekki nice

Trouble is when you name them something like a pyramid with branches coming off, what happens when you replace the top node? It would then start to look silly graphically and the initial idea would be gone. Unless of course you name the new server to be the same as the one it is replacing.
i used old greek gods , zeus , hades, hera, hermes and so on
@aubs just do Milky Way v2.
We use hostnames based on their function / location / number.
All our equipment is labeled SM-LOCATION-NUMBER so it can easily be located in the cabinets.
For hostnames we would use web01-location and so on, once you grow to a certain amount of servers we find this is the best way to keep a decent overview.
use strange names as: deep throat, bang bus, etc ahaha

Wait, what?
You can name VPSes after food. Like cake, pie, chesse, strawberries :P
I like where all of the above is going.
To the people of Pietopia! I am your Pie!
