Re:Ask HN: How do you name your servers?

Mine is the setup with One Piece characters as OP mentioned. This also includes my dev computers. Our setup is thus:
Prod for my LLC is Luffy since he is the captain.
My desktop is Zoro since the desktop is the most powerful computer I have.
My laptop is Usopp since I work with it the most and I sort of identify with that character.
Another client server is Franky because that client was weird.
A client server I setup once is Robin since that name wasn't taken.
Each character is sort of vaguely descriptive of the machine they name.
Another scheme I worked with once was physics words for movement. The dev machine was impetus, staging was acceleration, and prod was velocity.
I once got burned with putting funny filler text on a live production site. Naming servers creatively is a safer way of having fun that is also more subtle.
