The weirdest naming scheme for computers I've seen is the one used some years ago by my college: It named Linux workstations after Linux kernel committers' email usernames!

There were the better-known folks like linus (Linus Torvalds [1]) and gregkh (Greg Kroah-Hartman [2]), but also relatively more obscure people, like shemminger (Stephen Hemminger [3]) and stelian (Stelian Pop [4]).

I didn't recognize most of those names at the time, but now that I do, I wonder what those people would have thought about having a large organization's computers named after them. A bit creeped out, I would think.
