Suitable naming conventions for workstations

Where I currently work, we have a lot of information in our workstation names; site, warranty end date, machine type, etc. I'm of the opinion that this is too much information needed to access a machine and it can certainly be stored in the computer description. I'd love to hear how others are naming their workstations and some pros and cons for different naming schemes. Should computers be logically tied to the person that they're currently assigned to or does that just cause unnecessary work when a machine changes hands? Do the management tools in use make a difference on how workstations should be named?"
