Yeah, clever or geeky naming conventions only really work when you've only got up to maybe a dozen or so boxes to look after as was pretty usual back in the 80's or 90's. When it becomes dozen, 100's or even 1000's, you need a proper boring naming convention, especially when said server are all identical looking boxes in a server room, or even scattered around the globe in remote data centres.
