A good naming scheme is scalable, unique, and easy to remember. The purpose of these naming themes is to name network computers, but it can also be used to name projects, variables, 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.
