I use pokémon names to name computers. I just pick the last 9 bits from the computer MAC address, add 1, and check which pokémon have this number in the national pokedex. This scheme can be adapted depending of the network. Perhaps you could use the names of legendary pokémons to name servers and more important computers. It's easy to find images, ASCII art and perhaps even toys to put in the computers to help identification. And even if your network gains 40 new computers each year, the number of existent pokémons grows more than this and you won't be without names. :-)
