I once asked an ex what to name a computer, and they said to just name it anything.

So now I have Anything, Something, and Nothing.

I also named my Wifi SSID Galaxy News Radio 📻, so my main computer is PipBoy 3000.

(note: emojis in names are hit or miss on whether or not 1. it'll work and 2. it'll work integrating with other things)

I tend to keep 1 pi per side project, so I name it something boring involving the project it's for, like dnsserver, so it's easier to find what ones are on the network and why my dnsserver isn't running.
