What kinds of naming conventions do everyone follow when building new
servers?

I once had a VMWare server named "Legion." And our HMS Odyssey servers
used to be "Scylla" and "Charybdis" -- you get the idea.

These had more logical CNAME entries where applicable, of course.

At home, the servers are named for Transcendentalists, 'cause the LOTR
characters were getting trite.
