https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greek_mythological_fig... has been good for naming my workstations for decades. Dual-boot scenaria can use Roman/Greek names for the Mac/Windows or Win/Linux “personalities” of the same physical machine.

I once almost got fired because my computer was called aphrodite, the CTO had to demo my webapp, and he couldn’t spell it correctly.
