I agree with this. Call servers after their purpose. I don't grow attached to servers anymore — especially in the cloud.

It looks like there's two types of answers in this thread, and the difference between them is whether their infrastructure is cloud-based or running in a datacenter:
- Cloud: "Who cares? Name them after pokemon or dinosaurs, you can always reprovision and they won't last very long."
- Datacenter: "But what if the name doesn't make sense 16 months from now??"
