Back when I worked in IOL, we used to name out NetApps after kitchen 
appliances ending in "er". This originates from one of the first filers, 
which looked much like a 1950s toaster. Others then included blender, 
cooker etc etc

These days, my laptops tend to be named in-line with their task. Currently 
nomad, sherpa and rambler.

Alas for work, with about 65 offices globally, server naming tends to be a 
little more standardized and intuitively named.
