@mforester For the longest time I used Star Trek characters, tpau is still chugging along just fine. And I used to work at a FAANG-level corp where the primary and secondary email server were called data (so far so good) and lore, so I guess I wasn't in the wrong crowd there :-P But that also taught me the value of systematic names; When you spin up dozens of machines elastically then naming them isn't only pointless, it actively hinders swift error localization, because your brain goes through that additional level of indirection. function-location-somewhatuniqueid is really helpful. But then so it is for an intruder, a host named auth-something or db-something is sure the get attention fast during a breach, which is why some security departments actively mandate something like IP-, MAC-, or GUID-only, which in turn is nightmare to debug yet again... None of which applies much to a homelab, except insofar as I want to play with "realistic" toys. sigh My brain us just stuck in the evaluation loop; It's a familiar feeling, though :-P If someone has a link to a reasonable "current best practice" document I'll take it, otherwise I'll just go with boring+functional again ;-)
