The naming scheme I settled on for my devices was using ship names from World War 2. - Device size and computing power maps roughly to the ship size: my desktop is named after a battleship, while my Kindle is named after a destroyer. - Servers are always named after carriers. It just made sense to me somehow. - Like the warships, the names can eventually get reused as the devices are replaced.
