It looks like there's two types of answers in this thread, and the difference between them is whether their infrastructure is cloud-based or running in a datacenter:

- Cloud: "Who cares? Name them after pokemon or dinosaurs, you can always reprovision and they won't last very long."

- Datacenter: "But what if the name doesn't make sense 16 months from now??"
