What is your machine naming scheme? (startrek.website)

I've ended up with a number of machines on my network, and a need to name them all in a somewhat logical way. For several years I had them named after the planets, which worked well until the PCs for myself, my girlfriend, servers and Raspberry Pi's quickly summed up to more than the eight planets. I've broadened it somewhat to include any Greek/Roman mythological figure, but the system is definitely not as clean as it used to be.

Do you have a coordinated naming theme for your machines?

FYI: Bobes does not mean ass in german. That's not even a german word.

Edit: Maybe they meant "Popo" which is closer to butt/behind in english

German here, yes it does and it is. It's not a high German word, but a dialect one (but it's present in multiple German dialects, mostly all Franconian ones, as well as Hessian and Swabian). Usually it's written "Bobbes", though.
