Your idea is very cool but you can't use this naming schema if you have thousands of servers, because it can't scale. If you use some orchestration software and for example you want to affect only the web servers it's very easy to do so if in the hostname you have something you can match against, for example if the hostname would be lpcaweb{01..99} this can be matched by using 'web'.
You have to choose wisely and take into account the scale of your infrastructure.
