I've felt the same pain, coming from enterprise environment with strict naming convention. So, of course, at home I avoid that like eating sh*t.
At home my servers are called after my deceased pets, little tribute of their precious time on earth, based on their "capabilities". Some raspberry pis with small services named after our squirrel and cats and the big ones named after our dogs. That way they continue somehow with us, even after leaving us for more than 15 years.
[ Almost Off-topic ] Not gonna lie, I love that our Catalonia domain ( .cat) can be used for all this nice cat related projects.
