Comment What about fictional places? (Score 1) 722

What about those of us who name their machines after fictional places, like planets from Battlestar Galactica or Star Wars?

I mean, my personal workstation is named dagobah. My web development server is named Caprica. My backup server is named Malastare. My music streaming server is named Bespin. My game server is named Trandoshan. My co-workers machines are all designated names from the remainder of the twelve colonies, like Capricon, Picon, Tauron, etc.

Of course, none of them actually know this. The magic of a well defined set of CNAMES and Aliases makes my life a little more fun, even if they insist on calling the mail server, gods forbid, mail.localdomain instead of something like yavin.localdomain.
