From the article: "Don't overload other terms already in common use."
I heard that Nokia named a set of meeting rooms after cities. This was changed after it cost a small fortune in cancelled flights.
From the article: "Avoid alternate spellings."
An ex-colleague named servers after his favourite punk and metal bands, many of which have unusual spellings. Furthermore, it doesn't give the right impression if you name your mail server megadeth

- cstejerean 19y agoGoogle conference rooms are (or at least were) named after cities as well. I wish my current job had a similar naming scheme so I can have an excuse to escape the current Chicago weather ("you mean I wasn't supposed to fly to Hawaii? oh, well...")
- maw 19y agoMany of the offices I've worked in have named meeting rooms after cities. But there was never any confusion -- I guess when you say "the meeting's in Milan in 5 minutes" there isn't any ambiguity. (I did try to get out of a few meetings in that room by claiming I was too sexy for it. Never worked.)
