How to name your servers
over 1 year
ago
At my current place of work, we are using god names, like apollo, hermes, odr, sol, mani, haesoon, volos, etc.. We are not limited to Greek-only gods, there are plenty Roman, Norse, Slavic, Indian, pagan and other culture's gods to cover 300+ servers..
But if I'd have to come up with names for more servers, I'd try to go by space sector and star naming convention.. http://www.iau.org/public/themes/naming/
