The last place I worked (the State of Washington Courts) named their servers after trees, Mountains and rivers (spruce, cascade, columbia).

spiderman
mifuno
timeaxe
rhineheart
trinity
zira
cornelius
ursus
zaius
caesar

These are the names of the firewalls (well, with -01 and -02 designators because, ya’know, the firewalls be clustered) in the giant financial services firm where I work [on contract]. I had this notion that career technologists stopped naming servers after dwarves, blade runners, and pixies as soon as the I.T. team grew larger than a WoW clan. Guess I’m wrong. Fuck it.
