Rather than choosing at random, I like to pick names that have some relation to the device in question, e.g. "Pichu" for a tiny mobile device, "Snorlax" for the big slow machine, "Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres" for three successive powerful servers, etc. What's extra fun about Pokemon, if you're familiar with the franchise, is that you can pick names based on generation, with older generations for e.g. older devices, and if you're _really_ familiar with the franchise you could even pick names based on types or other characteristics.

I was so proud of my spec'd out M1 Max MacBook Pro that I named it "Arceus", the god of the Pokemon universe.

My company uses codenames like this for our services and it drives me insane every time I have to go look up which is which or mentally convert to the name it should have been given.

At work, let's just call things what they are.

Sounds like that would be a perfect simple application for a go/ link or a Raycast extension, just saying :p

Very similar here. PCs get Pokémon region names (MacBook is Johto), non-PC Ethernet connected devices get Professor names, all other devices are Pokémon.

Oh, I do the same! For instance, zygarde is my 14TB NAS, which I consider pretty big. I'm not familiar with the franchise though :)
