I used to carefully name all of our computers. Starting a few years ago, I stopped even knowing the names of most of the physical machines on my home network. Sure, I'd have to go to the DHCP reservations list to figure out the name of my kids' computers to remote into them. The VMs and containers on my proxmox server are all named after the service and a trailing number. Plex is plex1, file servers are fs#, unifi controller is unifi1, etc. Once having a VM or container became essentially free, it mostly eliminated the need to think up or remember names.
