Network Naming Schemes What do you use? A good naming scheme 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. 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. If you know of a scheme you like, but want even more selections, try using Google Sets to find even more. Alternately, go to Wikipedia and look for a "List of..." page related to your chosen theme.

But having a cluster of machines in this schema is a good way to help people remember the fundamental rights they have (in America, at least).
