My naming convention is like this: - anything my company doesn't create or own, is just called whatever it is - logical components that aren't specific to the org chart can be whatever you want - anything org chart specific gets a randomly generated code name. an internal website allows you to register and look up any code name across the company. this allows you to find who the hell owns server "ws-prod" in a 6 year old account that nobody seems to maintain. instead you find "peanutcar-ws-prod" and can then look up who registered "peanutcar". (this also prevents the bu-org-group-product-subproduct-env mess that eventually runs over character limits) - doesn't matter if the rest of the company doesn't do it, I do it for what I manage. later on if it gets adopted, fine, but if not, at least I won't ever have to rename my crap.
