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.

@Quinnypig Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. My last workstation (which I had for about seven years) was "Wowbagger" after the immortal dude trying to insult every sentient in alphabetical order.
The router I retired yesterday was "Jeltz" after the commander of the fleet that destroyed Earth.

a K8s cluster after characters in Destiny (eris morne)
a windows cluster after horror characters (Valek, IT,) (also this one was very broken for some reason) -
