Discussion on: How do you name your devices?

Servers either get named for what they do or don't get names because they're disposable.

My home machines have a mythological theme, monsters and underworld or threshold divinities:

• main workstation: lamia (one of many victims of Hera's misplaced vindictiveness in Greek mythology)
• tablet: leinth (an Etruscan cemetery-goddess)
• router: lachesis (the middle of the three Greek fates, who measures Clotho's thread before Atropos cuts it)
• dns box: neti (the gatekeeper of the Sumerian underworld)
• tv box: lethe (the river of forgetfulness in Hades)
• NAS: tartaros (the place of torment for the titans and especially iniquitous mortals)
• spare: akhlys (Greek personification of misery)
