I think I've gone full circle on hostnames. Cute -> functional -> boring semi serially assigned. It doesn't matter is my conclusion. where I work we have the remnants of about 5 different naming schemes living side by side (very big environment) and we're not missing out our gaining a thing. We always resort to some external db (Sometimes just a spreadsheet) to lookup particular hosts based on whatever today's criteria is. TL;DR it's a distraction. Don't waste time on it.
