Network Naming Schemes What do you use? A good naming theme is scalable, unique, and easy to remember. The purpose of these naming schemes is to name network computers, but it can also be used to name projects, variables, streets, pets, kids, or any other project where unique names and rememberable names are required. By the way, if you are actually going to use one of these themes, be sure to read RFC 1178 and RFC 2100. Due to the enormous amount of link spam that I have been receiving recently, I have reluctantly decided to disable edits by anonymous users. If you would like to contribute, please create an account. No email verification is required unless you want to receive future automated notifications. Pages with a "*" need work. Anyone is welcome to contribute - simply click "Edit" on any page to which you would like to contribute! If you add a naming scheme, please add a link to it on this page.
