What host names do you use? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi fellow selfhosters!

What hostnames do you use for your systems and services?
And maybe why if it's an interesting story.

I'll start:
Steam Deck: krax
Smartphone: krix (once I get LineageOS installed again)
MiniPC: krux
Reserved for future use: krex & krox

Creative, I know. 😅 The names have no deeper meaning. The x comes from Linux. That's it.

I know some of you use god names of certain pantheons, such as Thor. But I find that boring as a lot of people are doing that.

Now let your pants down and tell me all about

your embarrassing host names!

I use concepts of games I like. Right now Alan Wake and Pacific Drive are the two of them.

Main Laptop: Typewriter
Steam deck: Poet
NAS: The Lake
Main Pc, that has become more a render station since I mostly work on a laptop and game on a steam deck: Lighthouse
Hue Hub: Light switch
Phone: Flashlight

But when I started to be more interested in networking and installed openwrt on my router, I was more infatuated by Pacific Drive:

Router: Outer Containment Wall
WiFi 5/2.4 Dual: ARDAnet
WiFi for iot: RemnantNet
GuestNet: OEZone
VPN: BreacherNet
Switch: SparkTower
