I used the names of characters from the Matrix. The more important the machine, the less significant the character.

I've been naming mine after the named PCs in the book Cryptonomicon. Ordo, Tombstone, Epiphyte, Crypt...
Generally `site-typeN` or `site-type(N)-room`.
The short names for the sites are the official abbreviations of railway stations.
It gives names like `gn-rtr2`, `ens-sw1-mc`, `ams-prn1`, etc.
In total we manage 7 sites plus some VPSes, and these are all in the IPAM and DNS.
The typenames are generally this:
- rtr - Router
- sw - Switch
- gw - Gateway/modem
- ap - Access point
- wks - Workstation/pc/laptop
- srv - Server
- vm - Virtual machine
- phn - (IP) phone
- prn - Printer/copier/scanner
The DNS names are just `hostname.network.domain.tld`.
For routers it's a bit different, they have VLAN and tunnel interfaces, so they become `site-rtrN-vlXX.routing.domain.tld`, and `siteN-siteM.routing.domain.tld` and `siteM-siteN.routing.domain.tld`.
Most servers also have OOB management, so that becomes `site-srvN-oob.network.domain.tld`.
In some VLANs there are VRRP setups, so there is an extra name, `site-vlXX-vrrp.routing.domain.tld`.
We're still discussing whether we should give the routers other names, so the interface names become a bit nicer/shorter.
However, you lose some information you need in traceroutes, so I'm against it.
Boring but functional.
It's relatively new, so feedback is welcome.
