This reminds me of a client that hired a new IT director and his first order of business was renaming all the machines from their boring names. We had things like database servers named "db1" and "db2", load balancers were "haproxy1" and "haproxy2", web servers "web1" through "web8", that sort of thing. The new IT director decided to name servers based on city names, where the country indicated the type (Sweden is database servers, Finland is load balancer, Japan is web servers). And these weren't obvious names, ISTR that one of the 20 names I had heard before. So at 3am when an alert came in saying "Hagfors has high load", you had to know that was in Sweden to know it was one of the database servers. But was it the primary or the secondary? It seemed a curious decision to make.
