So?

At least, Aaron, you did not name your firewall Cerberus … :D

Greek gods got elected as most lame and unorgininal. Several votes went up for porn star names, of which one specially for stars from the midget porn scene. But in the end we were quite happy that we have very functional names which describe what kind of server it is and where it is located.

That last naming scheme is the only thing i can recommend. Keep it functional, especially cool if your serverspark expands.
