I wouldn't necessarily call them cute, but "Odin" (my phone), "Tyr" (my NAS) and "Thor" (my home server) would surely agree.

- knorker 4y agoCute names don't scale. You can name your servers after star trek characters, and routers after star wars characters, only if you have very few.
- MrGilbert 4y agoSure, yes - something that's not an issue at my home, but surely will at other places. Regarding naming - Middle Earth should have many possible names at hand.
- knorker 4y agoStar trek has many names too. It's just that they get more and more obscure. Which is fine if it's just you. But if it's a company and you hire someone who doesn't rewatch TNG every weekend, then it doesn't help that you know the daud's wife's name. And that would hurt the business. I'm sure every character in the star wars cantina has a name. That's not the point.
